One of the most well-known names in NASCAR right now is the 23XI driver, Bubba Wallace. And, it’s not only about his work off the track in promoting equality and acceptance of all cultures in NASCAR, but also his pace. However, being well known doesn’t mean people only see him in a positive light. In fact, Bubba Wallace is arguably one of the most controversial figures in NASCAR right now.

However, Bubba Wallace is still a NASCAR Cup Series driver and one who has been very fast this season. Unfortunately, he has no wins this season. And being 21st in the Cup Series standings, he is out of the playoffs, for now.

However, just like other drivers, Wallace was also inspired by many other drivers. And he goes on to talk about his favorite NASCAR drivers.

Bubba Wallace Reveals His Favorite Drivers in NASCAR

I AM ATHLETE is one of the most popular YouTube channels when it comes to sports. And, in a recent interview with the channel that called him “The Tiger Woods of NASCAR”, he shared the names of his favorite drivers in the series!

Wallace was asked, “Who’s that Tom Brady in NASCAR”. Essentially, asking him who, according to him (Bubba Wallace) revolutionized the sport of NASCAR. To which, he started off with the top 3 greats of the sport, as he said, “Obviously, you gotta put the greats in there, Richard Petty, 7-time, Jimmie Johnson, a recent 7-time who retired last year, and Dale Earnhardt.”

Although, he clarified that it’s not his top-3 in order. Then, he talked about his top picks out of the current picks, to which he said, “Now, in this day and age, in no particular order, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, and Denny Hamlin. And, not because he’s my boss”

Finally, it’s great how Bubba Wallace can talk about the people who inspired him. Wallace certainly had some great picks and chose the drivers that we could say, have shaped NASCAR into what it is now.
