Jimmie Johnson, Bubba Wallace end relationship with NASCAR helmet designer following Confederate flag tweets

NASCAR Cup Series stars Jimmie Johnson, Bubba Wallace, Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch have all respectively severed ties with a racing helmet designer after the brand account lashed out online about NASCAR's decision to ban the confederate flag at racing events. What began as some tweets fired off in the mentions of NASCAR media people in defense of keeping the flag -- or, as Jason Beam of Beam Designs puts it, in defense of preserving history, whatever that means -- grew to calling Bubba Wallace's Black Lives Matter car "garbage."
