For Wallace, it’s worth the wait

Drivers dream of having the opportunity to compete in the Daytona 500, which is the most prestigious event on the NASCAR schedule. The race has a long history of changing a driver’s life forever, creating lifelong memories, and producing unfortunate heartbreak for others.

Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. waited for his chance to compete against the best drivers in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. However, patience played a key role in landing the best opportunity of his young career.

In 2017, Wallace started the season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series driving the No. 6 Ford Mustang for Roush Fenway Racing.
