It is noteworthy that NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. has entered a few businesses with his family. Precisely, he and his sister Kelley Earnhardt linked up to establish the JR Motorsports team. Now in a recent podcast, 23XI Racing driver, Bubba Wallace admittedly was hoping to follow in Dale Jr’s footsteps. Likewise, he is also going to involve his family in some of his business ventures.
In the Extraordinary Tales With Seb Coe podcast, the star driver opened up regarding including her sister in his business.

He said, “Yeah for sure, my sister really, I brought her on last year to help navigate and guide in the non-profit world. She’s the one that comes up with a lot of these ideas of, ‘Hey, do you want to be a part of this? Do you want to do this?’. We look at how that aligns with our core values and it makes sense. I sit there and I give the green light or the red light on a lot of things. That’s important to us. For me, we’ve entertained the idea of, ‘How do we attract more minorities in the sport’. What will it take to give those kids a feeling like they have what it takes? Give them a shot, an opportunity. That’s kind of the bigger picture. How do we put all that together, the funding, partnerships, sponsors?”
What lies ahead for Bubba Wallace in the future?

For the moment, the driver is content to enjoy the off-season for some time. This is especially true for the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, as well as his upcoming nuptials. Wallace and his partner Amanda Carter are getting married on New Year’s Eve, and the couple is excited about it.
Beyond that, Bubba Wallace will be eager to get back to racing action for the 2023 season. His 2022 campaign was a little better than his maiden season, with 23XI Racing. So he will be keen to build on that and improve his performance in the upcoming year.
