“But I know it was a lot in the off season testing. I was you know rehabbing it up on my shoulder. So I didn’t get to experience that. So I didn’t get to see the bad go to good. So it’s been fine for me. I run a cool shirt, it’s nice the way we have our ac flowing in the car. So it’s been good. So I haven’t seen any issues.”, the Cup Series driver further asserted.

Bubba Wallace at Talladega, what does this mean?

Bubba won the October 2021 race at the Talladega Superspeedway. A rain-soaked day saw the 23XI Racing driver come ahead of Brad Keselowski to take home the first win of his career. The rain-shortened drive saw just 117 laps on the board before Darrell could see himself on the screen as the race winner.

With the win, Bubba became the first-ever black driver to win the race in 57 years. Moreover, the YellaWood 500 Cup Series race made him the second black racer to win a race in NASCAR after Wendell Scott in 1963.
