The recent Netflix docu-series, Race, takes us behind the scenes into the rise of Bubba Wallace from a ‘just a NASCAR driver’ to ‘more than a NASCAR driver.’ The six-episode series takes its viewers through Wallace’s journey from not being able to find any sponsors to being the marquee driver, the first pick for 23XI Racing, a team owned by Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan.

As it is aptly true of any journey, the ones who stick with you from when you had nothing are the ones that usually stand out.
