The epic adventure in Chicago finally has concluded. The Grant Park 220 certainly wasn’t a walk in the park for 23XI Racing’s Bubba Wallace as the driver who is known for his skill in Superspeedways and short tracks struggled to keep up with the pack amidst the chaotic rain-soaked conditions of the downtown Chicago track.

Though the driver finished 31st after a last-minute caution when he rammed into an unsuspecting Ricky Stenhouse Jr on the final laps of the race, the 29-year-old Alabama native was all in for the idea of racing on a street course. Wallace even had a lavish block party in DuSable Black History Museum in Chicago inviting viewers and spreading awareness and access to the black community to NASCAR’s inaugural Street race in Chicago.

While Wallace is often at the receiving for his on-track antics and political ideologue, his wife, Amanda Wallace is just as fierce as her husband. Recently, Amanda fiercely fended off a radical who spewed nonsense in her comment section.

However, the driver redeemed himself with an impressive performance at Darlington and Kansas, being in the top 10 on both occasions. But with that being said, Wallace’s c**ky attitude still makes him hated by many in the community. According to the Chicago Sun-Times on Thursday, Wallace told the reporters his thoughts, he said, “I’ve always said there’s three types of people: the ones that will accept change, the ones that are on the fence about change, and the ones that will never change,”

Reflecting on this very motto of his, Wallace added, “You can never get to the minds of the people that will never change, so we don’t really focus our energy on those people. We try to convince the ones that are on the fence about change. ‘This is what can happen. Stick with us, and let’s ride it out to the end.’ Now, coming to the incident here, Wallace’s wife ahead of her husband’s race in Chicago posted a picture of her scooting around the track on an electric scooter.
