Bubba Wallace Shuts Down Reporters, Refuses to Answers Question About Future originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Bubba Wallace finished sixth at Nashville last Sunday and snapped a rough stretch of racing that included three consecutive DNFs.
On Saturday at Michigan when meeting with the media, the 23XI Racing driver was happy to talk about his previous result or the upcoming race on the two-mile track. He also made it clear that he didn’t have anything to say about the lawsuit ruling this week in favor of NASCAR that produces questions about the future of the three-car organization and its drivers.
“Focus on fast cars today, fellas,” Wallace started. “So that’s the question you’re gonna get, Jordan.”
“I’m gonna ask anyway,” The Athletic’s Jordan Bianchi replied.
“That’s the answer,” the driver responded. “What’d Kyle Busch say, ‘I’m here so I don’t get fined. And everything’s great, right?’ There you go.”
“Are you concerned about the future?” Fox’s Bob Pockrass questioned.

“Everything’s great. You know the answer already,” the No. 23 driver suggested. “You can let Denny (Hamlin) comment on that stuff. You’re not gonna get an answer that you want to hear from me.”
“Can I ask this one?” Bianchi asked. “Do you pay attention to everything going on or just noise to you?”
“You just go out and race,” Wallace answered. “That’s what I pay attention to.”
After answering a couple of questions on racing, including one on his top-10 result at Nashville, Pockrass circled back to the off-limits topic.
“Are your contract negotiations being stalled?” he asked.
“Bob, come on now,” Wallace said. “Let’s talk about Michigan, dog. You ain’t getting no comment. Come on. Jesus Christ.”
Wallace and the Cup Series return to action on Sunday. Race coverage begins at 2 p.m. ET on Prime.
