Daytona Beach, FL – NASCAR star Bubba Wallace, 31, sent shockwaves through the racing world on May 3, 2025, announcing a groundbreaking milestone in his illustrious career. The 23XI Racing driver, piloting the No. 23 Toyota Camry, revealed he’s reached his 300th NASCAR Cup Series start, a testament to his resilience and trailblazing legacy, sparking a frenzy of celebration on X.

Wallace, the first African American driver to compete full-time in the Cup Series since Wendell Scott, shared the news via social media at 8:45 PM EDT, posting, “300 starts and still hungry for more! Grateful for this journey.” Fans erupted with #Bubba300 and #NASCARLegend trending, as the milestone underscores his impact both on and off the track. From his historic 2021 Talladega win to advocating for diversity, Wallace’s journey resonates deeply.

The announcement comes amid a solid 2025 season, with Wallace securing a Duel win at Daytona and a top-10 finish at Atlanta, despite a challenging 2024. His path, marked by six Truck Series wins and two Cup Series victories, including Kansas in 2022, showcases his tenacity. As a pioneer, Wallace’s role in banning the Confederate flag and mentoring talents like Rajah Caruth amplifies his influence.

Teammate Tyler Reddick and team co-owner Denny Hamlin joined fans in congratulating Wallace, with Hamlin tweeting, “Bubba’s a game-changer. 300 and counting!” The NASCAR community, from drivers to fans, is rallying behind the Mobile, Alabama native, whose emotional post about his son Becks Hayden’s birth last September added a personal layer to his legacy.
