BREAKING: Danica Patrick Files Lawsuit to Ban Bubba Wallace from NASCAR Permanently
“He Speaks as If Every Race Owes Him an Apology,” Patrick Says in Explosive Statement
In an unprecedented move shaking the NASCAR world, former driver and current team representative Danica Patrick has officially filed a lawsuit demanding the permanent ban of Bubba Wallace from all NASCAR-sanctioned events.
Representing a coalition of nine NASCAR teams, Patrick alleges Wallace has “divided the sport,” “poisoned the paddock with victimhood,” and has “turned every race weekend into a stage for personal drama.”
“He speaks as if every race, every fan, every crew chief owes him an apology. It’s exhausting. NASCAR was never meant to be a soapbox,” Patrick said during a fiery press conference held outside her legal team’s Charlotte office.
Legal Action Puts Pressure on NASCAR Leadership
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, and has ignited a firestorm within the industry. At the center of it is NASCAR CEO Ben Kennedy, who now faces mounting pressure to take immediate disciplinary action against Wallace.
Patrick’s legal team claims Wallace has “knowingly damaged the reputation and unity of NASCAR,” citing repeated controversial statements, emotional outbursts, and what they call “chronic allegations of victimization without merit.”
“It’s not about silencing him,” Patrick clarified. “It’s about protecting the integrity of a sport that millions love. Bubba Wallace has made himself bigger than NASCAR — and that has to end.”
Bubba Wallace Responds: “I Won’t Be Bullied Out”
Wallace, currently in the middle of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs, responded within hours on social media:
“Let the record show: I’ve never asked for an apology. I’ve asked for respect. If that’s too much, maybe the problem isn’t me.”
He later posted a follow-up video, stating he would not back down, nor would he allow “old faces in new roles to drag the sport backward.”
Divided Fanbase and Industry Reactions
Fans, drivers, and team owners have taken sharply different sides.
In Support of Patrick:
- Some veteran drivers praised Patrick for “saying what many are afraid to.”
- A group of team sponsors reportedly expressed “fatigue” over what they call Wallace’s “never-ending controversies.”
In Support of Wallace:
- A coalition of younger drivers and diversity advocates rallied behind Wallace.
- Hashtags like #StandWithBubba and #LetBubbaRace began trending on X (formerly Twitter) within an hour of the announcement.
What Happens Next?
NASCAR has not issued an official statement yet, but insiders say an emergency meeting has been scheduled between Ben Kennedy, legal advisors, and team stakeholders to determine whether to suspend Wallace while the case is reviewed.
Possible Outcomes:
- Full dismissal of Patrick’s lawsuit
- Temporary suspension of Wallace pending investigation
- A formal ruling by NASCAR barring Wallace from future competition — a move that would spark the most controversial moment in modern NASCAR history
Is This the End of Wallace’s NASCAR Career?
Whether Patrick’s lawsuit succeeds or not, one thing is clear: the tension within NASCAR has reached a boiling point, and the outcome of this legal showdown could reshape the future of the sport forever.
