“I WILL LEAVE” Bubba Wallace has announced that he is leaving US because….
In a surprising and emotional statement, NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace declared, “I will leave,” revealing plans to step away from the United States due to ongoing personal and societal challenges. Known for his activism and outspokenness against racial injustice in motorsports, Wallace cited exhaustion from constant criticism, threats, and lack of progress in creating an inclusive environment as reasons for his decision.
“After years of fighting for change, standing up for what’s right, and constantly facing backlash, I’ve decided I need peace,” Wallace said during a press conference. “This country means a lot to me, but right now, it’s not giving me the space to breathe.”
Wallace, the only full-time Black driver in NASCAR’s top series, has often been a target of both praise and controversy. His advocacy, especially following the George Floyd protests and the banning of Confederate flags at races, made him a prominent figure beyond the track.
While Wallace did not reveal his exact destination, he hinted at taking time to reflect and focus on mental health. Fans and supporters have expressed mixed emotions, but many respect his courage. “Sometimes, to keep standing strong, you have to step away,” Wallace concluded.
