Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is a big fan of NASCAR, and he seems to be an especially big fan of 23XI Racing driver Bubba Wallace. Daniels showed his support for Wallace ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Namely, the popular NFL player arrived at Northwrest Stadium early on Sunday, wearing a Bubba Wallace 23XI bomber jacket.

Although Bubba is not exactly the favorite NASCAR driver among fans of this sport, it seems that he still has a huge fan base that supports him week after week. Not long after, the 23XI Racing driver decided to react via social media, writing, "YESSSSIRRRR!" in his post.

Bubba Wallace and his T-shirts

Bubba is also a driver who often wears T-shirts with various motifs, wanting to expand public awareness of equality and inclusivity. Although the 31-year-old is not getting exactly positive reactions, he remains determined to do so. The 31-year-old admitted a few weeks ago that he would like to distance himself from the public, focusing on NASCAR tracks. 

Wallace wore a Black Lives Matter T-shirt during a pre-race ceremony in Atlanta a few years ago. Bubba stressed then that he wants to get rid of all Confederate flags. 

"My next step would be to get rid of all Confederate flags," Wallace said. 

"No one should feel uncomfortable when they come to a NASCAR race. It starts with Confederate flags," -he continued. 

"Get them out of here. They have no place for them. The narrative on that before is I wasn't bothered by it, but I don't speak for everybody else. I speak for myself. What I am chasing is checkered flags, and that was kind of my narrative."

It seems like we'll be seeing less and less of Bubba in such roles in the future. Wallace aims to show the best of himself next year, aware that his moves often attract criticism and various reactions.
