So proud of @BubbaWallace.
He stepped up his performance this year, and stepped up for what he believes is right. Both of which attracted plenty of attention and sponsor dollars. The love and support will always drown out the hate.
And leads now to this amazing opportunity. ud83dudc4aud83cudffb https://t.co/8hfDiguqS8

With one sleep, 3 things coming to mind.
1 Seems to be a move for MJ in line w being more publicly active; he brings enormous presence.
2 Mad respect to @dennyhamlin for recognizing & working to put it together.
3 For @BubbaWallace, the experience is going to be incredible. https://t.co/VaXmNDrMZA
