Bubba Wallace and Bootie Barker
Any opinion on Bubba Wallace in NASCAR is complicated and multilayered as he is one of the most dividing personas when it comes to it in the sport. The 23X1 Racing driver is sometimes overlooked at the same time overrated by several individuals associated with the sport or its fandom.
Bubba Wallace who joined the Michael Joran-Denny Hamlin–owned team in 2021 and though underachieved with the car he was provided, secured an impressive first career win at Talledega. The win came after NASCAR decided to suspend the race due to heavy rain and proclaim Bubba Wallace who was the leader before the Red Flag the winner.
The organization’s decision to award Bubba Wallace the win didn’t sit well with a huge portion of NASCAR fans and fuelled the already ultra-active hate group of the driver. But with his latest win at Kansas by outracing his boss Denny Hamlin, Wallace has silenced the critics proving himself to be the real deal.
Bubba Wallace and many associated with the driver weren’t happy about the constant abuse or unwanted criticism that came at him for his NASCAR involvement. Bubba Wallace crew chief Bootie Barker has been among one of them and now after his driver’s comfortable win at Kansas, just like his teammate Kurt Busch did in the spring race at the same track, has some words for the haters.

“I’m really happy for Bubba and our team and I’ll say this: It’s a pleasure working with Bubba. He’s gotten better and better. I thank Denny [Hamlin] a lot for going out on a limb and taking his money and putting it on the line to start the team,” Bootie Barker said.
Bootie Barker went on to point out how happy he was about the win and added that he always knew how good his driver was. He also trolled the usual haters of Bubba Wallace who mostly try to undermine the sole African American’s NASCAR achievements by asking how they are going to demoralize this win and what are they going to say.
“All of that being said, we know how good we are. We knew. And I know how good Bubba was and how good he’s been all year. I feel very happy for him and the fact that we took it to them. What are you going to say? What can you throw rocks at us about this time? I’m just really happy for our whole organization, especially Bubba, for how we did it,” Bootie Barker added.
