Bubba Wallace is one of the more successful NASCAR drivers out there and he loves to game. And Logitech makes some very good racing peripherals such as wheels, shifters, and pedals. So it just seems natural that the two would enter in a partnership together.
Logitech G announced they are teaming up with Bubba Wallace to help promote their line of racing and gaming products today. Bubba actually uses the Logitech G923 TRUEFORCE Racing Wheel and Driving Force Shifter when he races in iRacing. Also, Bubba will be wearing that familiar G logo on his sleeve when racing.
This will be a multiyear contract and I'm excited to see what new racing products this could bring out of Logitech with their partnership.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (May 26, 2021) – Logitech G, a brand of Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) and leading innovator of gaming technologies and gear, will partner with NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace to promote its line of simulation racing gear, as well as other advanced gaming products.

The racing sim market is only growing, and I’m ready to get to work to help Logitech continue to dominate this space.”
As a part of the multi-year partnership, Logitech G will become the exclusive partner of simulation products for Wallace, and the Logitech G logo will don the sleeve of his NASCAR Cup Series uniform.

About Bubba Wallace
Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. is NASCAR’s only African-American driver and has played a critical role in NASCAR's push for inclusion and equality, including its ban of the Confederate flag at race events. In 2018, Wallace became the first full-time African-American NASCAR Cup Series driver in over four decades, starting his rookie season with a runner-up finish at the Daytona 500. The 27-year-old has six total career Camping World Truck Series wins, and Wallace became the first African-American driver in nearly 50 years to win a NASCAR national series race when he went to victory lane at Martinsville Speedway in 2013 (Wendell Scott won a NASCAR Grand National race in 1964). Wallace started the Live To Be Different Foundation in 2017, aimed at breathing new life into individuals striving to achieve their goals, no matter their age, skin color, disabilities or ambitions.
