DAMN IT: Bubba Wallace Gets Rare Praise From NASCAR Fans After Rejecting Tesla Deal — Here’s Why He Said “No” to Elon Musk

In a surprising twist, Bubba Wallace — often a lightning rod for controversy — is finally earning praise from NASCAR fans after turning down a major offer from Elon Musk and Tesla.

Sources close to the deal reveal that Musk personally wanted Wallace to test drive and endorse Tesla’s newest electric race model as part of a bold push into motorsports advertising. But to everyone’s shock, Bubba said “No.”

“I respect the innovation,” Wallace reportedly said, “but I’m a gas guy. I live for the roar of the engine and the smell of fuel. That’s racing.”

The bold refusal has unexpectedly won him support from longtime NASCAR traditionalists — many of whom have criticized the recent wave of electric vehicle promotion in the sport. Wallace’s stance struck a chord with fans who miss the old-school, high-octane edge of NASCAR.

“Never thought I’d say this, but I agree with Bubba,” one fan posted. “EVs don’t belong in stock car racing.”

While Musk’s camp has remained silent, the message is loud and clear: Bubba Wallace isn’t switching gears any time soon.

And for once, NASCAR fans are actually cheering him on.
