After NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace debuted a “Black Lives Matter” design on his racecar several weeks ago, a fellow driver decided to counter that vehicle by revealing a car that represented a “Blue Lives Matter” design of his own, according to Yahoo Sports.
NASCAR driver Kyle Weatherman brought out the latest design on the car he drives at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Mike Harmon Racing proudly announced the new “ThinBlueLine” design, complete with a “Blue Lives Matter” flag across the hood via social media.
