Really Bubba? Just when I had convinced my husband to go back to the track and that NASCAR is about racing and not politics and race car driver's opinions on how we should live our lives….good grief.

Wallace received support from his fellow NASCAR drivers back in June after a reported noose was found in his garage. The FBI later determined it was a garage rope pull.
