Name or nickname?

The claim has been made based upon a contradictory source that Bubba is his legal name. Anyone have any documentation one way or the other?Daniel the Monk (talk)

In Alabama, we all have a Bubba in our family—brother, cousin etc. In my 48 years experience, it’s never their legal name. F. L. (talk) 02:17, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Darrell Wallace, Jr. according to the NYT. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/13/sports/bubba-wallace-nascar-confederate-flag.html F. L. (talk) 02:19, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On “Jimmy Kimmel Live” (ABC) on 7/7/2020, Bubba said his sister started the calling him Bubba, perhaps because she couldn’t pronounce “brother.” This page is locked for editing, and the word spacing is seriously flawed. Somebody please fix it, or unlock it so we can help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:101:8200:DC60:ADA1:89D3:F029:3056 (talk) 04:10, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Add a note in the "Noose investigation" section mentioning that Richard Petty visited the track to support Wallace on June 22 during the march of solidarity down the pit lane, his first visit to a race in 3 months, saying "most important thing for me right now is hugging my driver."

During the caution, Wallace engaged in a shoving match with Larson

Video shows Wallace doing all the shoving or pushing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 3f3awrdiafig (talk • contribs) 04:00, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why is race included as an achievement?

Perhaps base achievements on actual achievements, racial achievements are not achievements 2603:6010:6CF0:8F0:25E7:E85F:5ECB:BDA6 (talk) 22:02, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
