The last time Bubba Wallace met with an animated character was Cookie Monster at Indy 2025, where he won.
With Space Jam on the car and having met Bugs Bunny, could it be his secret ingredient of winning at Chicagoland?
I think in retrospect it rlly comes down to the fact that all of Scott’s designs came out of his head with no preplanning or rlly anything beforehand, and he struck gold repeatedly that way,
Vivzie could make a thousand sketches and still end up with shit from an ass
IMPORTANT JOURNALISM: Bubba Wallace met Cookie Monster before winning at Indy last year, and now he's met Bugs Bunny before he drives the Space Jam car. Bubba was thinking about exactly that even before it got pointed out to him.
"I legit thought about that an hour ago. I'm like, 'oh damn, I met Cookie Monster at Indy, we won. Here we go, let's do it. I'm getting tired of watching my teammates win, let's do it!"
Bubba says if the 23 team goes 2-for-2 in winning after bringing famous characters to the track, "then we're getting every character, whatever it is, to every race for the next however long I've got left in my career. Every race they're gonna be at."
