Bubba Wallace has proven time and again that he is a really nice guy. Recently, a fan called Savannah Nicole revealed that her father had burnt the flag she used to support Wallace. As it turned out, her father was not a fan of the #43 driver, but Wallace was not about to leave a fan hanging.

He urged her to send the Richard Petty Motorsports team her address so that she could expect a package from them soon. Bubba Wallace also assured her that her father would eventually see the light and become his fan.

The African-American driver will be counting the days until the 2020 season ends. Once the four races at Kansas, Texas, Martinsville, and Phoenix conclude, he can look forward to racing for Michael Jordan’s team. Earlier this year, Denny Hamlin and NBA legend Michael Jordan announced that they were setting up a new NASCAR team.

Wallace is regarded as one of the most popular drivers on the NASCAR circuit. In addition to that, he is regarded as a driver with untapped potential and the capability to win races. Bubba Wallace has himself declared that he is determined to mount a serious challenge in 2021.

Wallce, Jordan, and Hamlin truly believe that their new and daring venture will bear fruit. Speaking to NASCAR ahead of the Las Vegas race, Wallace said“He [Michael Jordan] called me and said, ‘We want to do this right, no more messing around, we want to win’. I want to go out there and showcase what I can do behind the wheel.”

It is believed that the African-American driver will drive for Toyota with his new team in 2021. In 2020 itself, he recorded a best finish of 5th place at the Daytona International Speedway. However, his career-best finish was a 2nd place at the Daytona 500 back in 2018.
