On the same day NASCAR banned the confederate flag, Bubba Wallace, NASCAR’s only black driver, raced his No. 43 car with a Black Lives Matter paint scheme.
The hood featured a black hand and white hand gripping in solidarity with the message “Compassion, Love, Understanding” written below. That same phrase was written on the back of the car, and the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter was painted on the left and right sides.
Wallace, 26, also wore an “I Can’t Breathe” t-shirt and an American flag mask before Wednesday night’s race at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia. (NYPost)
