NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace has expressed indifference towards the potential attendance of former President Donald Trump at the Daytona 500, stating that his focus remains on the race itself. This comes after a controversial incident involving Trump's dismissal of a noose found in Wallace's stall in 2020 as a 'HOAX.'
NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace has made his stance clear on the potential attendance of former President Donald Trump at the upcoming Daytona 500 . During a recent media event, Wallace stated that his primary focus remains on the race itself, rather than any political implications surrounding the event. He expressed a sense of indifference toward Trump's presence, saying, 'Couldn't care less if Trump shows up at NASCAR 's biggest race of the year.
' He further emphasized this point by stating, 'We're here to race. Not for the show.'\Wallace's comments come in the wake of a controversial incident from the summer of 2020, which created a rift between him and Trump. At the time, a noose was found hanging in Wallace's stall at Talladega Superspeedway, leading to a high-profile investigation by federal authorities. While the investigation ultimately concluded that the noose had been present since the previous fall and was not a hate crime, Trump took to social media, referring to the incident as a 'HOAX.' In his X post, Trump wrote: 'Has 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!' \Wallace responded to Trump's claims with a message of grace and understanding, stating: 'Always deal with the hate being thrown at you with LOVE!... Love should come naturally as people are TAUGHT to hate. Even when it's HATE from the POTUS.' He continued, 'So to be late to the party is one thing, and to be wrong on the factual information is another. But all in all, he did get one thing right in his tweet, though: the great officials that continue to stand behind me — NASCAR drivers and officials that continue to stand behind me through it all — he got that part right. We have a great sport that I'm proud to be a part of.' \Trump himself is no stranger to the Daytona 500, having attended the race in 2020 as the Grand Marshal. He enthusiastically began the event with the iconic phrase, 'Gentlemen, start your engines!' and conducted a parade lap around the track in the Presidential limousine. As of now, reports suggest that Trump will be attending the race this week, though NASCAR has yet to officially confirm his presence.
