Wallace became the NASCAR Cup Series’ first full-time African American driver in 2018, then became the first African American to win a race on the top national series in 2021.

"NASCAR driver Chase Elliott grew up trackside as the son of “Awesome Bill from Dawsonville”, also known as beloved NASCAR Hall of Famer Bill Elliott. Since then, the younger Elliott has blazed his own trail to NASCAR superstardom, accomplishing feats no other driver ever has. Not only is Elliott the youngest driver to win a NASCAR top-three series championship, but he is also the first driver to win the Xfinity series championship and the Rookie of the Year award in the same year. He is also the third-youngest Cup Series Champion ever, making him and his father Bill only the third father-son combination to hoist that trophy.

"Denny Hamlin has been one of the most dynamic and successful drivers in NASCAR for nearly two decades. His legion of fans cheer on his famous No. 11 Toyota at tracks around the country. Ever since he won twice during his rookie season in 2006, when he also collected Rookie of the Year honors, Hamlin has been a model of consistency and excellence. Winner of three Daytona 500s, and counting a Coca-Cola 600 triumph among his 48 trips to Victory Lane, he is destined to enter the Hall of Fame as one of the sport’s legendary drivers.

"For more than two decades, Kevin Harvick has been one of the most prolific winners in NASCAR. One of only four drivers to take the checkered flag at NASCAR’s four marquee races—the Daytona 500, the Coca-Cola 600, the Southern 500, and the Brickyard 400—he captured the prestigious Cup Series championship in 2014 and finished second in the standings the following season. Winner of 60 Cup races, he put together a nine-win season in 2020 and an eight-win year in 2018, and is destined for induction into the Hall of Fame as one of the best ever.

"NASCAR driver Kyle Busch is one of the most successful drivers in NASCAR today. The two-time Cup Series champion holds the record for most wins in Xfinity Series and Truck Series history. While some may consider him to be one of NASCAR’s premier villains, there is more to the story of the younger Busch brother. He has 27 more Cup Series wins than big brother and fellow champion Kurt, thanks to a driving style that earned him the nickname “Rowdy” from his rivals.
