Bubba Wallace Shares Playful Tease about NASCAR Rival Tyler Reddick
Bubba Wallace is making waves on social media for a friendly jab at a fellow NASCAR Cup Series driver.
During an interview after his race on Sunday, Bubba Wallace playfully called Tyler Reddick a “mental case.” While this comment stirred various reactions among NASCAR fans, it was all in good fun, and Wallace meant no harm.
@NASCAR you have suspended @NoahGragson for liking a meme, what are you going to do with @BubbaWallace for calling another driver a mental case? Mental health is a very serious issue and not something to make fun of a person about. Don’t let this go because it’s Bubba!
