It seems like Bubba Wallace is finally embracing the vlogger lifestyle. The 23XI Racing driver recently uploaded the first video from his Summer Shootout vlog series, giving fans some behind-the-scenes footage about his experience in grassroots racing. Wallace, who learned his trade by racing Legend Cars and Bandoleros, was returning to the Summer Shootout after a five-year break and captured his first day back with a detailed vlog showcasing his experience.
Wallace has come under heavy criticism recently, particularly after the door-slamming incident with Alex Bowman at the Chicago Street Course that resulted in a $50,000 fine and widespread social media condemnation. However, the reactions to his vlogging attempt couldn’t have been more positive, with fans getting a peek into the 23XI Racing driver’s personality behind the scenes.
Is Bubba Wallace becoming the fan favorite after all?
Just like Joey Logano, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Chase Elliott, Bubba Wallace also began his racing career at the summer racing spectacle. Piloting the No. 76 Legend Car in the Pro Division, Wallace was seen struggling with the adaptation process, as the power-to-weight ratio of the car is very different from what he is used to in the NASCAR Cup Series. As a result, the 23XI driver finished P18 in qualifying and P15 at the end of the first race, an outcome that Wallace expected, given his long-term hiatus from the format.
