CHICAGO — Ahead of the NASCAR Chicago Street Race, Bubba Wallace — driver No. 23 of Michael Jordan co-owned 23XI Racing — will host “Bubba’s Block Party,” a nationwide community initiative at The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center on Wednesday.
The South Side event will feature racing-themed entertainment, local food from Black-owned businesses and a live musical performance from Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco. It is scheduled from 5-9 p.m.
“A lot of people (have been) saying that they don’t feel welcomed to be a part of our sport. I’ve been racing for 20 years, going on 21 years now, and I couldn’t think of being anywhere else,” Wallace told the Tribune.
