The no. 23’s NASCAR career

After having started racing at nine, Bubba Wallace gained popularity when he won 35 of the Bandolero Series’ 48 races in 2005. However, it was in 2010 that he got entry into NASCAR as he started competing in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East series. As part of NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity program, he was signed as a development driver for Joe Gibbs Racing.

While he did that, it was in 2012 that he made his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut as he drove for JGR at Iowa Speedway. A year later, Wallace made his Truck Series debut while driving the #54 Toyota for Kyle Busch Motorsports. However, his Cup Series only journey started in 2017 when he was chosen to replace the injured Aric Almirola to drive for Richard Petty Motorsports.

After competing in four races, Wallace was able to secure it full-time the following season. Having said that, the biggest breakthrough of his career came in 2020 when the newly formed 23XI Racing confirmed the Alabama-born driver as their first-ever Cup Series driver.

With Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan as the team owners, Wallace has not only got their strong backing but has managed to find some individual success. Before the start of the 2023 season, the 29-year-old had two wins to his name, one coming at the Talladega Superspeedway and the second one at Kansas Speedway.
