Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. is ready to get back on track at Chicagoland Speedway this weekend for his first race with the No. 98 Biagi DenBeste Racing team. An ambassador for Nickelodeon, Wallace will drive the Nickelodeon Slime Ford donning iconic Nickelodeon characters from SpongeBob to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Wallace not only helped design the car that he will be driving but also helped design the NASCAR Monster Energy Series Tales of the Turtles 400 trophy. Wallace will use Turtle Power to his advantage in hopes of celebrating in Victory Lane by getting slimed after Saturday’s race.
Wallace has just three XFINITY Series starts at the 1.5-mile track. He found success in those three starts with one Top-Five and one Top-10 finish. His best finish of third came in 2015. Wallace also had two Camping World Truck Series starts and one Top-10 finish.
Weekend Chatter
“I’m really excited to get back to the track this weekend, and I’m excited that I get to do it with Nickelodeon and the 98 Biagi DenBeste team. I’ve worked with Nickelodeon before, and they always make the weekend fun. I know the 98 team has had success in the XFINITY series, and I’m looking forward to working with them for the first time. The winner of the race is going to get slimed in Victory Lane, and we want to get the Nickelodeon Slime car slimed.”
