After a few dark and testing hours, it’s drum rolls and red carpets for Bubba Wallace and the team. But what is the reason, you may ask? Well, the Cup Series driver’s documentary series released on Netflix in February 2022 has won a Sports Emmy Award for an Outstanding Documentary Series (Serialized). It is a big achievement for Wallace and the team. But do you know who else is over the moon as the news broke? Wallace’s biggest support was his wife, Amanda Wallace. 

‘Race: Bubba Wallace’ is a six-part documentary series that was released last year. The series follows the only full-time African-American driver in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2020 during a turbulent time. It was a time when Wallace stood up for a big change amid the ongoing racial injustice in America. The Confederate Flag stood for slavery and racism, and Wallace called NASCAR for its banishment from the sport. Other than that, the docuseries also covers his journey with team 23XI Racing, which is owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin
