NASCAR racer William Darrell "Bubba" Wallace Jr. announced his engagement to girlfriend Amanda Carter in July 2021 after five years of dating.
On Monday, October 4, 2021, Bubba won the NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway. He joins Hall of Famer Wendell Scott as the second Black driver to win a Cup race (Jacksonville, Fla. – Dec. 1, 1963).
Man, I totally forgot about that race, but the time I got to that channel, their were in another rain delay. Congrats to him
Fantastic!!! When Scott won in 1963 they were afraid to put him next to the Nascar queen who was White and they gave it to another racer. I like to know who was that queen?
Although Wendell was awarded $1000 after the race, NASCAR didn't present his family with a trophy commemorating his victory until 2010, a decade after his death.
