CHARLOTTE, NC — NASCAR's Hall of Fame in Charlotte has a new exhibit, and it's exact car that Bubba Wallace won at in Talladega, Alabama. The 23XI Toyota Camry sponsored by McDonald's will be on display until August 1 of this year. The victory marked the first premier series win by a black driver since NASCAR Hall of Famer Wendell Scott's first place finish at Jacksonville Speedway back in 1963. It also served as the inaugural win for basketball superstar Michael Jordan and NASCAR star Denny's Hamlin's 23XI Racing team. "In keeping with our mission to honor the history and heritage of NASCAR, we are thrilled by the opportunity to highlight Bubba Wallace's historic win by displaying the No. 23 car," said NASCAR Hall of Fame Executive Director, Winston Kelley. "We're grateful for the generosity of our friends at 23XI Racing for loaning us this priceless artifact and allowing us to share its legacy with guests." The NASCAR Hall also has two of Bubba Wallace's fire suits currently on display, including the one he wore while driving the No. 23 car to victory in the YellaWood 500 last year. Fans can also view the fire suit from his historic NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win at Martinsville in 2013. To learn more about the NASCAR Hall of Fame or get tickets, visit NASCARHall.com.
