Hours before his much-awaited speedway run, Michael Jordan’s driver, Wallace, won over fans with his lovely gesture, of meeting a young fan! While the driver was skeptical of his run, drowning in self-doubt, this certainly did not stop him from surprise the young fan named PJ.

Completely surprising his young fan on the pit lane, Wallace got a hat from his team crew and gifted it to PJ!

With Ellis retweeting the tweet from NASCAR’s proud engine oil supplier, Costa Kapothanasis, the NASCAR fraternity was in awe of the #23 driver despite his dull performances on the track. What made the incident special is that it was purely out of love and affection for his fan rather than being a public PR stunt.

Reacting to this wholesome gesture of the driver, fans quickly went on to praise the 29-year-old for gifting the differently abled fan a moment to cherish all his life.
