No NASCAR driver’s professional life has changed more than Bubba Wallace’s over the past 18 months.
Last spring, Wallace was a relative unknown outside of NASCAR. While he was the driver of Richard Petty’s iconic No. 43 car, he wasn’t a star. He wasn’t in any commercials. He was a driver with a contract up at the end of the season just trying to finish better than the caliber of his mid-pack equipment every week to get a better ride.
Little did Wallace know how speaking up for what’s right would change his career and help lead him to victory lane at Talladega.
