Bubba Wallace Shares Message About Mental Positivity Ahead of the Race in Phoenix

Bubba Wallace is certainly one of the most outspoken NASCAR drivers today. In fact, it wouldn’t be a stretch to call him one of the ‘new age’ athletes who are redefining how people look at the world of sports altogether.

In his relatively short career in NASCAR, Wallace has already made a name for himself both on and off the track. Although one can argue his contributions are more off the track.

But nevertheless, the contributions are there, to the sport, for the sport, one of which is bringing the subject of mental health to racing.

Not only has Bubba Wallace been vocal about the importance of the conversation surrounding this subject, but he has been open with his own struggles with the same as well.

So it’s no surprise he recently tweeted a message to his fans about remaining positive and optimistic in day-to-day life.

“Shoutout to my mentallly fogged people. Your prolly questioning if the journey is worth it… Questioning if your worth it.. The answer is never clear but I do know there is another day tomorrow. I feel you. I see you. I love you,” Wallace wrote.

Bubba Wallace hopes to have recalibrated popular belief about racecar drivers

Recently, Netflix released a docu-series, ‘Race: Bubba Wallace’, that took the viewers inside the life of the NASCAR driver and candidly showed his struggles, his high and low points all the same.

This is something Bubba Wallace feels should help change the notion many people still have to this day about racecar drivers.

“It’s a lot, to be a racecar driver,” Wallace said in a recent interview with CBS. “You get a glimpse of what it’s like.”

He added they didn’t “hold back” on anything, that they wanted to show how draining the sport can be mentally, physically, and emotionally. “So there’s always people out there – ‘NASCAR isn’t a sport,’” Wallace added.

“Well, you get to see otherwise in this docu-series.”
