Bubba Wallace has taken up the role of being more than just a racecar driver in NASCAR. He hasn’t been one to shy away from commenting on issues that plague not only what goes on inside the sport, but outside as well.
Recently, Wallace posted a heartbreaking message on his social media as he reacted to the new revelations about the death of Tyre Nichols.
“We’re changing the face of NASCAR. I’m one of the leaders of that charge, on the forefront of those conversations and seeing what we could do as a sport to be better.”
“When I’m gone and retired, hopefully there will be more minorities that are behind the wheel or on a race team in some capacity. But there’s more to me and my legacy as an activist than simply being the only one.”
“I still encourage people who don’t have a platform, who feel like they don’t have a voice, to still speak up and have those tough conversations with your peers or colleagues, your bosses—whoever it may be.”
