And the first to get the trophy.

Everyone knew the rain was coming and Bubba outraced them to get this.

He's struggled so much with depression and other adversity to get to this point and I'm so happy as a career-long supporter.

Too bad jackasses on the Internet hate him for saying Black Lives Matter last year

Freakin awesome, all the crap he was getting for the BLM and the garage door opener looking like a noose. Glad he won, he deserves it. Looks like he also had a little help from GOD with the rain as well.

Bubba haters hate him because he's black and said something when everyone was shoving microphones in his face.

The noose incident was entirely justified given the backlash he was facing at the time. Some jackass tied a pull into a noose the previous season and it unfortunately was a stall assigned to Bubba the next time. A terrible coincidence.

Bubba has stood up for NASCAR fans against the redneck stereotype and has always been extremely grateful for his opportunity. He has always been open about his mental health struggles which isn't usually the case with athletes. He has faced racism, but he keeps going and still loves the sport and the fans. He's just a black man recognizing black struggles in America.

They tried hard to make sure there were none. Wendell Scott would show up at tracks and be denied entry to races. Even when he won, another driver was scored the winner. They "found out" later that he actually won by 2 laps. It took 2 years for NASCAR to award him the victory and he was long dead by the time NASCAR give his family the trophy, in 2010.
