The stars and the cars came together for the NASCAR Road Rally at McDonald’s in Bronzeville. Fans got to meet Bubba Wallace Jr., and enjoy festivities leading up to the weekend races.
Over 200 local children from various neighborhoods and racing fans lined up to meet Wallace, one of the most popular race car drivers in the industry. He drives for Michael Jordan’s 23XI team and is sponsored by McDonald’s, making him a natural Chicago favorite."There’s a lot more to it than just showing up on Sundays and driving. You’re doing a lot of community work, especially this weekend in Chicago .
"He’s my favorite driver," Irvine said. "He;'s been my favorite driver for years. I root for him. I wear the hat. I wear the shirt. He’s my daughter’s favorite, also. She loves Bubba and the McDonald’s cars."Wallace said he was skeptical about the event last year. "It actually ended up being a lot of fun all three or four days that we were here. My wife and I flew in yesterday. I’m excited to get back to it, get our feet on the ground and get to it.
