Who says Bubba Wallace needs support from Donald Trump?!?!
NASCAR announced Tuesday the star driver is CRUSHING the fan vote for the 2020 All-Star race … saying the 26-year-old is currently leading for the fan spot in the classic.
Of course, it ain’t exactly a surprise, despite Trump’s criticism Monday … Bubba helped get Confederate flags banned from racetracks a few weeks ago and handled the adversity from Talladega’s disturbing noose incident extremely well.
With just over a week remaining, @BubbaWallace leads #AllStarRace fan voting!

Everyone from Saints star Alvin Kamara to LeBron James has come out publicly and supported the guy … and clearly, other less famous people in the nation are doing the same.
The spot in the race is a coveted one … an invite to the challenge — which is set to go down on July 15 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tenn. — is hard to come by.
In order to get onto the track, there are several requirements … most involving getting a win on NASCAR’s top circuit in either 2019 or 2020.
While Bubba hasn’t been able to do that just yet … being the top vote-getter would put him in the field for the big race.
With just 7 days remaining to vote, Wallace is currently leading guys like Clint Bowyer, Matt DiBenedetto and Corey LaJoie — who famously drove in a “Trump 2020” car at NASCAR’s race last weekend.
