Bubba Wallace and Michael Jordan
To those who are still unaware, Bubba Wallace made history by registering his first ever NASCAR Cup Series victory last week, he had the most elite support of basketball icon Michael Jordan by his corner. Moreover, three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin was also alongside them. Recently, Michael Jordan spoke upon the same and also opinionated upon his own legacy.
Bubba Wallace had driven through a crash and to the front of the field five laps before the second rain stoppage of the race. When he surged to the front, and with the entire field realizing that rain could halt the race at any time, runner-up Brad Keselowski recognized Wallace had likely just won the race with his pass. NASCAR tried to dry the track for nearly 45 minutes, but called things off as sunset approached and the rain showed no sign of ceasing. Bubba Wallace had been waiting atop his pit stand and celebrated wildly with his crew when the decision came. Wallace is in his first season driving for 23X1 Racing.
Michael Jordan on Bubba Wallace’ NASCAR Victory
“I’m so happy for Bubba and our entire 23XI Racing team. This is a huge milestone and a historic win for us,” Michael Jordan said in a tweeted statement. “From the day we signed him, I knew Bubba had the talent to win and Denny and I could not be more proud of him. Let’s go!”
Speaking to the media post-race, Wallace stated that he had yet to hear from Jordan, as he had left his phone in his motorhome and had yet to check it. However, Hamlin was able to offer some insight on Jordan’s immediate reaction to his maiden victory.
“He’s as excited as I am. Even though I probably do most of the work on the ownership side, he’s emotionally invested in this team as much as I am,” Hamlin said. “This would not be possible without him.”
