Darrell Wallace Sr, Bubba Wallace's father, got his son interested in racing at a young age. Bubba's father is to blame for his love of racing and, strangely enough, equally at fault is Harley-Davidson.

He worked in sales at PSC for 12 years, from 1985 to 1997, according to his LinkedIn profile. From March to December 1999, he started working at Sales Thompson Industrial Services, LLC.

In 1999, he established Wallace Industrial Inc., where he has served as president ever since. The business provides services for vacuum trucks, hydro blasting, trash management, and the removal of both hazardous and non-hazardous garbage.

They offer roll-off services, remediation, pneumatic excavation, tank cleaning, vacuuming automobiles, and cleanup of spills.

The Wallace Industrial Inc.'s president is Darrell Wallace Sr. He has made the decision to avoid the spotlight despite the fact that his family is well-known.


NASCAR won't penalize Bubba Wallace for his obscene gesture at North Wilkesboro

NASCAR has taken a position regarding Bubba Wallace's offensive gesture. After Sunday's All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro, Wallace was seen flicking his middle finger in preparation for an interview with FOX reporter Jamie Little.

Before engaging Little in conversation, Wallace momentarily flipped the bird while sliding his left hand around his collar.

FOX NASCAR investigated the incident, according to Bob Pockrass, and concluded that Wallace was "gesturing to a friend" in a harmless manner.

The use of a middle finger has previously resulted in fines and penalties in NASCAR. Shane Hmiel received a fine and a 25-point deduction in 2005 for flipping off Dale Jarrett. Bubba Wallace, whose No. 23 Toyota finished second in the All-Star Race, won't be subject to such a fine.
