Bubba Wallace Becomes Second Black Driver to Ever Win NASCAR Cup Race

Bubba Wallace is now the second Black driver to win at NASCAR's top Cup Series level. 

Wallace was leading the NASCAR playoff race at Talladega Superspeedway today when it was suspended for rain after lap 117.  

Since more than half of the scheduled 188 laps were completed, the standings will be scored as the official finishing order. 

Wallace is the first Black driver to win at NASCAR's elite Cup level since Wendell Scott in 1963.
