It's been a long week for NASCAR's No. 43 car driver. He's ready for it to be over.
Part of what allowed him to feel free to speak his mind, Wallace said, was his lack of concern regarding how corporate sponsors would react.
“I say this with the utmost respect," he said. "Ever since I’ve been speaking out, I haven’t been thinking about my sponsors. I’ve been thinking about being a human being and standing up for what’s right. I hope that sponsors would back me up on that. We’ve had some sponsors drop out this year that, quite frankly, I’m glad we’re not a part of anymore.”
Wallace said he wants to refocus the conversations surrounding him to his efforts on and off the track. He'll be pushing his message of love and compassion to bring in a more diverse group of fans who hadn't previously considered racing. "Let's get away from what happened at Talladega. Let's move on from that, put it to bed," Wallace said.
"As much as it's tough for me balancing human-being side and racing side, it's part of it. I accepted that. But we'll just continue to move on."
