North Carolina, home of Bubba Wallace’s boss and NBA great, Michael Jordan just had a musical fest as country music sensation and millionaire Tyler Childers left the crowd awe-struck after a euphonic evening session. MJ’s driver Wallace and Amanda Wallace joined the fun along with their loved ones.

Following a brilliant race at Indy, Wallace’s social media burst into lively colors and melodious tunes as the driver attended the musical night with his wife. Much like the #23 Toyota driver, Childers is also known and adored by his fans for his outspoken ways and political views. The sold-out crowd, despite the humid climate, wholeheartedly embraced the “Send in the Hounds Tour” as it reached its high note at NC.

For ardent NASCAR fans, Denny Hamlin‘s #23 driver’s Indy performance wasn’t much of a surprise. While the Alabama native is known for his speedway runs, carrying the speed and consistently being in the chase, his vice is the technical road courses on the schedule.

And Indy was just that with 14-turns across a 2.5-mile track with little to no banking. Ranked at 14th in the standings, Wallace made it into the playoffs with a smart strategy rather than pointing himself into the cutline with a win. While his teammate and road racing phenom, Tyler Reddick qualified with the 2nd fastest time, Wallace was nowhere near his teammate, finishing 19th.

Whereas the #45 Toyota came out strong, Reddick looked to repeat his last year’s glory, crossing the checkered flag 4th and taking home valuable points.
