Bubba Wallace is a NASCAR driver and the current record holder for the fastest NASCAR driver in history. He has set records that have yet to beat since 2016 when he was crowned as the Rookie of the Year after his very first race at Daytona International Speedway. The rookie’s speed pushed him ahead of much more experienced drivers such as Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, and Martin Truex Jr.

Bubba Wallace is currently signed to drive for Richard Petty Motorsports through 2019 after signing with them earlier this year on October 25th, 2017.

“Racing is my life, matter what I’m doing I’m thinking about racing.”

“I’m living my dream, I get paid to do what I love. No matter how bad a day you’re having, when you show up here everything’s better.” – Bubba Wallace.

How did Bubba Wallace’s career take off?

Wallace started his racing career in go-karts when he was only 12 years old. Afterward, he joined professional teams and became a certified mechanic at 16 years old. A year later, Wallace won the Pro Cup Series championship and became Rookie of The Year. In 2014, he moved up into USAR Pro Cup Series. Later, he raced in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for Roush Fenway Racing.

Currently, Wallace is signed with Richard Petty Motorsports where he drives the No. 43 car. He joined the team on October 25th, 2017 and his car number is 6.

He has reached the peak of his racing career in such a short period and has managed to make quite a name for himself among NASCAR fans, however; even though he is part of the NASCAR world, not many people know that Wallace had ties with drag racing too.

How tall is bubba wallace

At only 24 years of age, Bubba Wallace has achieved much success despite being one of the shortest NASCAR drivers at 5’7″.

Despite this fact, he continues to make strides toward his goal of one day becoming a champion. Nothing seems to be able to discourage him! The best part about it? His determination can be felt by anyone who watches him race!

Why did Bubba Wallace get his nickname?

Bubba Wallace was nicknamed “Bubba” because he is a big fan of country singer, Bubba Sparxxx and wrestler James Harris “Gorilla Monsoon” (he even has tattoos on his shoulder blades too remember those two talented men).

Who were Bubba Wallace’s childhood idols?

Wallace looked up to Jeff Gordon as a child and tried to emulate everything he did. He was also inspired by Jimmie Johnson as well as Brad Keselowski. As for the reason why he chose No. 43, that came from Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s book where it said that anyone could be successful if they never gave up and worked hard enough.

Where does Bubba Wallace race?

Bubba Wallace races in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and drives for Richard Petty Motorsports. He is currently signed with them through 2019. On October 25th, 2017 it was announced that Bubba Wallace would be joining the team as their newest driver. His car number is No. 6 and he is one of only two African American drivers (the other being Willy T. Ribbs).

What does Bubba Wallace drive at home?

Wallace loves to spend his free time at home working on his 2003 Ford Lightning F-150 truck. His wife also has a black 2005 Ford Mustang convertible which she enjoys sharing rides with her husband in!

Conclusion

This just goes to show that short people are great at racing. They have speed, they can win, and they are very skilled.

The fact that he is so young makes this feat even more impressive- being so young means he has a lot of time left to continue winning races, holding records, and earning gold medals for his country. All in all, he’s an accomplishment is truly incredible and proves that height should not be held against anyone when it comes to sports. It also shows that short people can do anything they set their mind to; despite what society says about them (that they’re lazy, dumb, etc), these stereotypes couldn’t be further from the truth!
