Chase Briscoe won a NASCAR race on Fourth of July weekend, praising America and its values. He drove the red, white, and blue Bass Pro Shops Toyota to victory.
Pro-America Message
Briscoe’s pro-America message was well-received by many fans, who appreciated his patriotism. However, not everyone was pleased with Bubba Wallace’s Fourth of July message, which some saw as divisive.
Wallace’s message read, ‘250 years. This country is beautiful, complicated, and a work in progress. Which is a massive privilege, and is exactly what makes it so great. The freedom to use our voices, challenge the status quo, and responsibility to shape the future can easily be taken for granted. You don’t have to agree with someone to have the same pride in the country we share. Real progress happens when we realize staying unified is bigger than our differences. USA!’
Some fans praised Wallace’s message, while others criticized it for being too nuanced. One fan commented, ‘I don’t think it’s worth celebrating July 4th. It really is white people freedom and that’s it. I celebrate Juneteenth as that is the real freedom for all but I get what you are saying.’
