NASCAR racer Bubba Wallace had a heartfelt response to US President Donald Trump's recent attack on social media. Donald Trump took to social media on Monday to express his thoughts on the recent events of a noose being found at Bubba Wallace's garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway. The FBI investigation into the noose incident determined that the racer was not a victim of a hate crime and that the noose found in his garage was a rope pull door that was hanging at the same place since October 2019.

Has @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX? That & Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER!
