Bubba Wallace, the Alabama boy, is undeniably a fan favorite for his captivating performances that entertain the crowd. While the current season has been a roller coaster ride, it appears that Bubba Wallace is steadily making a comeback in the last few races. Notably, his teammate Tyler Reddick is leading the way in qualifying at Richmond, while Bubba Wallace secures an impressive P5 place.

Despite his great performances, Bubba Wallace has been invited into multiple heated situations. One such incident occurred with Aric Almirola this year on pit road. In fact, the incident with Kyle Larson last year raised the eyebrows of fans and the media alike. Among those, Joey Logano was the one who also shared bold words against the Alabama native.

Just recently, Bubba Wallace delighted everyone with a side-splitting video of himself using a go-kart, where he brilliantly mimicked Joey Logano’s voice in the background. The video instantly captivated the audience and garnered widespread attention for his humor and creativity.

Bubba Wallace reacts after his hilarious video of Joey Logano went viral

Despite winning Stage 1 at Pocono, Joey Logano found himself in a crash that resulted in four flat tires, leaving his car immobile and requiring a tow truck. Frustration over the safety crew’s response led him to express his discontent, repeatedly shouting “Hook it up” along with some abusive words.

The reaction of the Penske drivers gained everyone’s attention, and Bubba Wallace seized the opportunity to respond to Logano’s previous “Nearly Killing Larson” comment after the Las Vegas crash. Bubba posted a video after 284 days to take revenge, featuring him driving a go-kart and mimicking the situation Joey Logano was going through in Pocono, and to add more interest, he added the same radio banter as Joey Logano. After the video went viral, in a recent interview with Frontstretch, a reporter asked him about the idea of the video.

To which Bubba responded, “My social guys been on it he’s been really good um I came out from one run and they were talking about it and it took me minute and then I was like, ‘Oh yeah that actually pretty funny’. So we were in a debate on whether to bleep everything out or to keep everything as natural as it was but we chose to bleep it up.”

Presser asked, “Did you talked to Joey after it went viral?”

Bubba denied it and said, “No, he gave us that gym he created that monster for himself, so we’re good.”

Despite the viral attention, Bubba Wallace finds himself in a crucial position in the playoff bubble, needing more points or even a win to secure his place in the playoffs. The upcoming races will be crucial for his playoff aspirations.
