'There was so much historical impact and movement behind this race that we had just had that it just overpowered everything else that I’ve gone through,' Wallace, the only black full-time Cup series driver, said Friday.
Two days after NASCAR announced it was banning the Confederate flag from all of the sport’s events, Bubba Wallace said he probably will remember this week’s decision more than any triumph he ever experiences again on a race track.getting rid of the Confederate flag“This was definitely the biggest race of my career,” Wallace said Friday during a national Zoom conference call with reporters.
“The presence of the Confederate flag at NASCAR events run contrary to our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all fans, our competitors, and our industry,” NASCAR’s statement said. “Bringing people together around a love for racing and the community that it creates is what makes our fans and sport special. The display of the Confederate flag will be prohibited from all NASCAR events and properties.
Wallace said he’s eager for fans to start being allowed to attend races again because he’s curious to see what the demographics will look like following the ban of the Confederate symbol. He knows things might be uneasy with some fans, at least at first. “I was looking at what Marty Smith said to the fans that were upset,” Wallace said. “It was, ‘We are not closing a door on you, we’re opening up a door for many others.’ That speaks volumes right there. … What he said there was spot-on. It’s not something we’re trying to take out of your daily life. What I want is for people to not feel uncomfortable.”
