Bubba Wallace talks about the viral posts that he wanted to ban the white flag in NASCAR<\/p>\n
Ruling: False. Wildly false.<\/p>\n
Every couple of weeks, there\u2019s a new viral hoax circling the feeds regarding NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace. A recent trend of viral deception claimed that the No. 23 driver wanted NASCAR to ban the use of the white flag.<\/p>\n
And, if there\u2019s any non-racing fans here, the white flag is thrown from the flagstand simply to indicate that it\u2019s the final lap of the race. It\u2019s not going anywhere.<\/p>\n
Of course, the driver for 23XI Racing, a team owned by Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan never made that request. <\/p>\n
So where did it come from? Thin air, rage bait, it\u2019s as simple as that. You were baited by a social account.<\/p>\n
But, to this day, that hoax still circulates. And if you open the comments, somehow, people actually believe he said that and they\u2019re pissed.<\/p>\n

He busted out laughing. <\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t win.\u201d<\/p>\n People thought the fake viral story of Wallace wanting to remove the white flag was very real. <\/p>\n \u201cYeah, and they still do.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe things I\u2019ve said to myself are way worse than what anybody else could say to me. That\u2019s not a way to live but it makes those dumb\u2014 scenarios a little bit easier.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBut yeah, you can\u2019t win. And at this point it\u2019s just comical.
