NASCAR driver Darell Bubba Wallace Jr raised awareness for the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement wearing a t-shirt supporting the movement and also revealing a new paint job for his car that was used during the race on Wednesday night (Thursday IST). Bubba Wallace is the first full-time African-American driver to race in the Cup Series in nearly 50 years. In order to show his support for the protests against the murder of George Floyd, Wallace ditched the normal colour scheme for his Richard Petty Motorsports' No. 43 Chevrolet and opted for an all-black colour scheme.

"Listening and learning. Educating ourselves. So people will look up what this hashtag means, and hopefully, get a better understanding." Bubba Wallace finished the race at a career-best 11th place behind seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, Jimmie Johnson. Martin Truex Jr won the race at the Martinsville Speedway.
