The two-time race winner, Bubba Wallace, is quite popular among NASCAR fans on social media. Amid the ongoing Olympic break, the 31-year-old racer has shared a post on his Instagram, explaining how fans can win free merchandise.
Since his 2017 debut in the NASCAR Cup Series, Wallace has maintained an upward trajectory. The Alabama-based driver even made it to the Playoffs in the 2023 season, eventually finishing in 10th place. However, Wallace has had a rough 2024 season. The 23XI Racing driver has managed eight Top 10 finishes and four Top 5s so far.
With four races remaining in the regular season, Wallace is just on the edge of the Playoffs cut-off. Now, ahead of the Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway on August 11th, the #23 driver has taken the time out to interact with his fans on social media.
Bubba Wallace has offered an opportunity for his fans to win his official NASCAR merchandise via a video on his Instagram page. Here's a look at the post, captioned:

To win the goodies, all fans need to subscribe to Wallace's YouTube channel (the link of which is in his Instagram bio) and comment the t-shirt size they need under the most recent video on the channel.
A look at Bubba Wallace's 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season so far and his chances of making the Playoffs
With a 10th-place finish in the 2023 season, Bubba Wallace began the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season with a positive outlook. However, the season hasn't gone as planned for him so far.
Wallace managed to finish just two of the first five races in the Top 5s (fifth at Daytona International Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway). Since then, the #23 driver has managed to clinch four Top 5 and eight Top 10 finishes, and has DNFed in three races.
Highlights of Wallace's 2024 season so far have been the races at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Daytona, Richmond Raceway, and Atlanta, where he scored 42, 40, 39, 39, 36, and 35 points, respectively.
The 23XI Racing driver has managed to amass a total of 545 points, and is 204 points adrift of current leader Kyle Larson. He is just 7 points below the cut-off for the Playoffs this year.
With four races remaining in the regular series, the chances of Bubba Wallace qualifying for the Playoffs are still quite strong. All he needs to do is make sure he can be near the leaders at the upcoming races and try to grab a win at one of his top tracks, such as Daytona or Darlington Raceway.
