In the video, every character tells Bubba Wallace how they make money with Money Lion. Ty Gibbs was also seen in the advert, as he appeared from underneath the car after a mechanic called him “Ty Ratchet Fingers.”
Soon Wallace’s boss appeared from out of nowhere and stated that he rents out Bubba’s car when he’s out racing. The 23XI driver said, “C’mon man.” Soon after, Bubba Wallace finally paid and was asked to shake the phone to get his cash back. Once he did so, he got 50 bucks back. The advert ended with a guy saying, “looks like lunch is on you.”
Later on, Denny Hamlin took to Twitter to post the video of the advertisement and wrote, “DM @MoneyLion if you wanna take @BubbaWallacetruck for a spin. I can make you a good deal,” in the captions.
