With the final four drivers locked into the season finale, the racing world is abuzz with anticipation. However, amidst all the high-stakes drama, it’s the #23 car of Bubba Wallace that’s stealing the spotlight with a paint scheme that’s truly out of this world.

Bubba Wallace, the star driver for Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing team, is set to debut a jaw-dropping paint scheme. The new colors pay homage to the iconic Star Wars franchise. In a collaboration with Columbia’s latest STAR WARS™ collection, Wallace’s No. 23 “X-wing” Toyota Camry TRD is a sight to behold.

Mark Hamill, famed for his portrayal of Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars saga, is the ultimate wingman for Bubba Wallace and his racing team. The actor’s association with the project adds a touch of stardom and authenticity to the endeavor, making it even more special for fans.

The design of the car is nothing short of breathtaking, featuring striking imagery inspired by the legendary X-wing starfighter, a symbol of resistance and heroism in the Star Wars universe. The X-wing, known for its agility and power, perfectly embodies the spirit of both Star Wars and NASCAR.
