Many fans have expressed their excitement about the nomination and are hoping that the series will continue. One fan tweeted, “We seriously need this series to keep going or a new one revolving around the 23xi team as a whole.”

Others have praised the series for its ability to capture the attention of people who are not typically fans of NASCAR. One fan wrote, “It was great! Even my daughters that aren’t NASCAR fans loved it!”

The series has also been credited with inspiring a new generation of fans. Many young people have been drawn to the sport because of Wallace’s story, and the series has helped to create a more diverse and inclusive environment within NASCAR. One fan tweeted, “Finally Got Around To Watching, Race: Bubba Wallace. I have even bigger respect for that man. Good Stuff @BubbaWallace.”
