NASCAR star Bubba Wallace responds to Trump possibly attending Daytona 500 after past feud

NASCAR star Bubba Wallace talks to Fox News Digital about why he doesn't have time to deal with the negativity that comes along with social media.

President Donald Trump is rumored to be attending this year's Daytona 500 on Feb. 16. If he shows up, he will be there to watch a driver he has a spotty history with. 

Bubba Wallace, who drives the McDonald's car for Michael Jordan's NASCAR team 23XI Racing, engaged in a public feud with Trump in 2020. 

In July 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and the aftermath of the George Floyd riots, Wallace made multiple posts on X, then known as Twitter, condemning Trump for promoting hate. 

Trump himself attacked Wallace on social media over the driver calling for a ban on confederate flags at races and alleged that an investigation into a noose being found in his garage was a "hoax." An FBI investigation found that the noose had been in the garage stall since October 2019, and no crime had been committed.

Later that year, Wallace alleged that he had been told he was "bringing politics into NASCAR," in response to his condemnation of Trump. However, in 2024, Wallace made no political posts to speak of. Wallace previously told Fox News Digital why. 

"Investing my time into that seems like a waste of time," Wallace said at the time. "I was definitely more vocal then because our sport was in desperate need of change." 

Now, with Trump set to possibly attend the Daytona 500, Wallace feels just as indifferent as he did
