NASCAR Driver and Activist

Bubba Wallace, also known as William Darrel Wallace Jr., is an American car racer and a full-time competitor in the NASCAR Cup Series. He also holds the title of being the only full-time African American driver in NASCAR’S three national series.

Not only that, but he also is one of the most celebrated NASCAR drivers of African American descent. While Wallace has been exceptionally great at racing, he has also used his platform to create awareness for the Black Lives Matter cause. After the George Floyd murder, he has been vocal about the racial discrimination leading NASCAR to take stricter measures in the event, including the banning of the display of the confederate flag at the NASCAR tracks.
