NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace has responded to Donald Trump’s demand for an apology over the noose incident that the president called, without any evidence, a “hoax”
“for treating this as a real threat. I think we’ll gladly take a little embarrassment over what the alternatives could have been.”“This wasn’t used as a publicity stunt on my end,” he told host Jesse Watters. “I don’t need all the fame and all the media hype to create my brand and create my image. People that know me, I’m 100 percent raw and real, and I just go out and give it my all on the racetrack, and I’m the human being that everybody else is off the racetrack.
In the aftermath of NASCAR’s decision to ban Confederate flags from its events, viewership overall has risen since racing resumed in May, according to Fox Sports. On Monday, its executive vice president, Michael Mulvihill, wrote that “viewership on Fox networks is up +8% since returning from its pandemic hiatus on May 17.”— Michael Mulvihill
