Wallace has been vocal about the changes that need to occur within NASCAR, including urging the racing organization to ban the confederate flag, as Blavity previously reported.

The 27-year-old racing star, who hails from Alabama and known for clapping back at trolls who attempt to antagonize him with racist vitriol, is the only Black racer in the premier-racing circuit.

I’m over hearing people say “leave politics out of NASCAR” when they are the same damn ones that were drooling over the fact of the BIGGEST political person being at the Daytona 500 this year. Same damn ones that love when the Trump car is on track..Buncha damn clowns!!???????? https://t.co/AdrrYoFxgb

Although Jordan isn’t the only Black owner of a NASCAR racing team, it's clear that if a change is going to happen in an industry that is predominantly white, more Black folks will have to get involved.
