In an interview with The Athletic, Wallace spoke about the commonalities between icons like Elon Musk, Tom Brady, and Warren Buffett.

“There’s no way Elon Musk is perfect. There’s no way Warren Buffett is perfect. The wealthiest people in the world deal with moms and dads abandoning them,” he said.

“We’ve all got issues: Was my dad was mean to me? Was my mom mean to me? Am I not getting out of my career what I want? Nobody likes me. Divorces — we watch it play out with these marriages in NASCAR.”

He then candidly opened up on how he was made fun of for not being “really good” in NASCAR. And even the ones who do have championships, who are successful, they go through the same things, Wallace believes.

“We’re all vulnerable. There’s no exceptions to the rule. Tom Brady, you think that sumbitch has done it all. But no! He can’t quit, because it’s in his brain, you know? So it’s crazy,” Wallace continued.

“We’re all the same, and we just don’t know it.”
