Bubba Wallace fined $15,000 for calling race officials ‘muppets’

[Revmitchell]

Apparently, NASCAR does not take kindly to having its race officials called "muppets" on social media.

That obviously is the reason NASCAR fined Darrell "Bubba" Wallace $15,000 on Wednesday as a behavioral penalty, cited under Sections 12.1; 12.8 a; 12.8.1 b of the NASCAR Rule Book. Those sections pertain to disciplinary action and NASCAR member conduct.

Wallace criticized NASCAR officials on social media following the last Friday night’s Subway Firecracker 250 XFINITY Series race at Daytona International Speedway, calling them "muppets" and saying the way they handled the controversial ending of the race was "a joke."

I agree with Bubba on that.

I agree with Bubba on that.

So, he offers them a lie and they make sure it goes viral with them in the fore propagating it; then he speaks the truth and they fine him $15K? Hmmm.

NASCAR does not like truth.

Regardless of the reason, it's probably the only punishment Jussie Jr. will face even remotely related to his racist publicity stunt.

the noose thread is gone and so is NASCAR. Like I said before, this Bubba guy is a big jerk and a crybaby, too. But the idiot NASCAR president is now trying to mandate sensitivity training as a response to this garage pull:

NASCAR mandates sensitivity, unconscious bias training after noose incident

I don't believe a word Phelps and Bubba say. Bubba is whiny and entitled. Petty sure knows how to pick 'em.

"rage quitting", what a jerk:

and this is probably the worst of all (until his noose) - he spins out and the he throws Gatoraid at the other driver:
