Little did Hamlin know he’d be celebrating with his driver the very next day in the first victory for 23XI Racing, a team that didn’t even exist until last November but was built around Wallace and the eight figures in sponsorship he’d landed as companies new to NASCAR rushed to support him last season. I just think he needs to learn that emotional regulation because he wants it really, really bad.” “Every driver goes through some sort of adversity through the course of a race and how you respond to that is what dictates usually how you finish. “Dealing with adversity, and these are things that he’d probably tell you, it’s just getting too high, too low, having super high expectations and when things don’t go perfectly as planned, how do you respond?” Hamlin said Sunday. Wallace has admitted to previous bouts of depression and the day before the rescheduled Talladega race Hamlin revealed that teaching Wallace “emotional regulation” will play a pivotal role in Wallace’s development.

There’s no telling what this victory, the first for Wallace in the Cup Series in 143 starts spanning four seasons, will do for his own confidence. “That’s OK because I know one person that is happy and that’s me because I’m a winner and they’re not.” Doesn’t matter if I won by a thousand laps or won a rain-shortened race, not everybody is going to be happy with it,” he said. “I’m not going to be able to please everybody. “In high school, I was always worried about what other people thought of me. Just start telling myself a bunch of dark thoughts,” Wallace said. I would go and read the comments (and) after a bad race I would become one of those haters that doesn’t know anything. Wallace said after Monday’s race he had followed Hamlin’s advice several months ago and stopped reading social media. It’s just (criticism from) someone that’s having a bad day.” When a team is close to winning a football game, they fumble on the one yard line, it’s fixed. “Any time there’s unique circumstances, it’s fixed. “I spend way too much money and these teams spend too much money to fix it,” he said. “People just automatically dislike me because I hired Bubba Wallace,” said Hamlin, a first-year team owner also who scoffed at the notion the race was fixed. Wallace was not a victim of a hate crime, but the hate has followed him since he became vocal in matters of social justice and successfully called on NASCAR to ban the display of the Confederate flag at its events.ĭenny Hamlin, a fellow driver and now Wallace’s boss as co-owner along with Michael Jordan of the 23XI Racing team, encouraged Wallace to get off social media for his own mental health. Not even in this pinnacle moment of his career could Wallace escape the doubters who somehow believe he cooked up the noose as a hoax in June 2020 to garner support during the nationwide racial reckoning following the death of George Floyd. That claim was one of the gentler barbs directed at Wallace, the first Black driver since Wendell Scott in 1963 to win at the top level of the sport.
It was rigged, many cried, saying NASCAR called the race only because it would benefit Wallace.
