Bubba Wallace and NASCAR drivers continued to put on a show of unity after weeks of turmoil and protest in the country.

Before the race at Talladega Speedway all 39 drivers and crew member pushed Wallace’s 43 car to the front of the field as a show of support.

Wallace is Nascar’s only black full-time driver.

It’s been an emotional few weeks for Wallace who recently requested a ban of the Confederate Flag.

During the pre-race 82 year old Richard Petty stood by Wallace for the National Anthem.
