Amanda Carter, wife of Bubba Wallace, unleashed a fiery message on social media following her husband’s emotional victory at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The win marked a significant milestone for Wallace and his team, but it was overshadowed by controversy after Amanda took aim at Wallace’s critics — specifically singling out fellow driver Kyle Larson.
Carter posted a now-viral message that called out “jealous people who can’t stand to see a Black man succeed,” and referenced a private exchange where someone allegedly called Bubba a “stupid Black boy.” Though she didn’t initially name names, fans quickly connected the dots when she later posted a cryptic comment that seemed to reference Larson.
The backlash and support were immediate — with fans and fellow drivers divided over the explosive claim.
Wallace, known for his calm demeanor in high-pressure situations, responded with just 15 powerful words: “You can try to break me, but I’m already built stronger than your hate.”
His statement resonated across the sports world, earning praise from fans, civil rights advocates, and even some NASCAR insiders. The controversy has reopened discussions about race, respect, and rivalry in the sport, especially after years of Wallace being at the center of diversity efforts in NASCAR.
Neither Larson nor his team has responded publicly to the accusation, but NASCAR officials are reportedly monitoring the situation closely. The drama adds another chapter to the intense competitive landscape ahead of the season’s final stretch.
