Bubba Wallace on the wind of change in NASCAR

Ever since he entered the sport, and especially since he joined his current team, which is owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, Bubba Wallace has been a big advocate for improving the sport on several fronts.

And all his efforts and the conversations he’s started and promoted haven’t exactly paid off in a big way yet, but they haven’t also been a waste either. In fact, it is the process of change that Wallace feels is the reward, because it’s always “a journey.”

“I think the culture is changing,” he said. “It’s a journey. Because if you have an answer, then that means we have a destination, I don’t think this process ever has a destination.”

“It’s always a journey.”
