Back in February, Bubba Wallace took part in a small commercial for his sponsor McDonald’s. Also starring in that advertisement was rapper Kanye West, and the premise was them and various customers ordering food. The commercial centered around a customer’s usual brief hesitance as they perused the menu. Suffice to say, Wallace and West truly enjoyed themselves while shooting the commercial.

Now, West has teamed up with McDonald’s once again for another project. This time around, he and industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa will be re-designing the McDonald’s packaging.

Where does Bubba Wallace fit into all of this?

Since McDonald’s is a major sponsor of Bubba Wallace, will he have to advertise this burger box? Well, only time will tell. For now, the 23XI Racing driver is maintaining his focus on the ongoing 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season. Admittedly, he is under a little bit of pressure, since his teammate Kurt Busch already has a win to his name.

So, it will be a bit of a race to catch up and hopefully book his Playoff berth. If he does manage to do so, Wallace will make his bosses, Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan, very happy. It would also be a chance for him to clap back at his haters who often give him a lot of grief. This weekend is the NASCAR Cup race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Since Wallace seems to thrive at large ovals, it could be a great opportunity for him to really stretch his legs.
