CBSN
Bubba Wallace made history Monday by becoming the second Black driver to win a NASCAR Cup Series race. The 27-year-old was in first place when officials called the race at Talladega Superspeedway because of rain, which gave him the win.
Wallace, who drives a No. 23 Toyota, pulled ahead at the race after driving through a crash and held his position for five laps. The race had two delays because of rain, but officials could not dry off the track and declared Wallace the winner.
"This is for all the kids out there that want to have an opportunity and whatever they want to achieve, and be the best at what they want to do. You're going to go through a lot of bulls***. But you always got to stick true to your path and not let the nonsense get to you," Wallace said through tears after his win.
