NASCAR’s BubbaWallace Talks Heavy Metal and Mental Health — 'The heavier the song, the louder the song, the better it makes me feel,' says the 23XIRacing driver
Wallace recalls how heavy metal helped him through a rough period of his life in 2019. “Amanda and I weren’t in a good spot. And the racing side of things wasn’t in a good spot. And it’s like, no matter what you did, days were just kind of merging together, and the depression would last for a long time,” says Wallace. “It was hard to get out of that funk.”‘Death’s Hand’ by the Amity Affliction“I never had the suicidal thoughts or anything. And that song is kind of what it’s about.
In 2020, Wallace made headlines when speaking against police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s death, and spearheading a successful campaign to ban the Confederate flag from allevents. In June that year, he had worn an “I Can’t Breathe” T-shirt and displayed the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag onto his car at Martinsville Speedway in solidarity with protesters around the world, at the cost of sponsorships for that event.
“Speaking up for what I see is wrong and wanting to stand on the right side of history doesn’t seem political,” the NASCAR driver said at the time. “It just seems like common sense to me as a human being… Just treat each other with respect. It’s not that hard.”
