In 2022, Netflix released “Race: Bubba Wallace,” a six-episode docuseries that offers an intimate look into the life of Bubba Wallace, the only Black driver in NASCAR’s premier Cup Series. The series chronicles Wallace’s inaugural season with 23XI Racing, the team co-owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan and NASCAR veteran Denny Hamlin, and delves into his personal experiences and advocacy for racial equality within the sport.
Directed by Erik Parker, known for his work on “L.A. Burning: The Riots 25 Years Later,” the docuseries provides exclusive behind-the-scenes access to Wallace’s 2021 season. It captures pivotal moments, including his decision to speak out against racial injustice following the murder of George Floyd and his successful campaign for NASCAR to ban the Confederate flag from all events.
The series also highlights the challenges Wallace faced, such as the incident in June 2020 when a noose was found in his garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway. This event drew widespread attention and support from fellow athletes, including NBA star LeBron James, who publicly expressed solidarity with Wallace.
“Race: Bubba Wallace” is available for streaming on Netflix, offering viewers an inspiring and unfiltered look into the journey of a trailblazing athlete striving to effect change within a historically conservative sport.
