Bubba Wallace's 9/11 tribute Camry for Kansas

9/11 is one of the biggest tragedies in USA history as the country lost 3000 lives in the al-Qaeda terrorist attacks at the Pentagon and the Twin Towers. The country still mourns the 2001 September 11 tragedy and celebrates the occasion as one of the days to showcase their patriotism.  

Now the 23XI Racing and Root, Inc., the parent company of Bubba Wallace’s sponsor Root Insurance Company, has announced that they will join hands with the No:45 team that will see the Toyota Camry using a tribute paint scheme for the 9/11 victims. The red, white, and blue design, features a 9/11 Never Forget tribute badge and will e used in the second round of the playoff races at Kansas.

Root Chief Marketing Officer, B.C. Silver acknowledged the importance of honoring the 9/11 victims and expressed their gratitude towards Bubba Wallace for using the livery.

How NASCAR Twitter reacted to Bubba Wallace livery

NASCAR twitter had a crazy set of reactions to the new No:45 paint scheme at the same time there was also some criticism of the 23X1 Racing using former US president Barak Obama’s words to announce the news on Twitter.

The criticism Bubba Wallace has gotten from a set of NASCAR fans on social seems bit extreme and unwarranted. The Toyota driver should be applauded for being part of such initiative and helping the racing community to remember the tragedy.
