The NASCAR season is in full swing and the race for the championship is starting to heat up! To help provide an insider’s perspective on the championship battles, Bing has teamed up with NASCAR driver Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. for this week’s #BingIt chat to talk all things NASCAR. Wallace (@BubbaWallace) will be on hand to discuss his first year driving fulltime in one of NASCAR’s three national series and share some behind-the-scenes stories on being a NASCAR driver.

Whether you’re a NASCAR aficionado or a casual fan, join the #BingIt chat on Thursday, August 8 from 3 p.m.-4 p.m. ET / noon – 1 p.m. PT. To participate in the discussion, follow @bing and @BubbaWallace on Twitter, or use the hashtag #BingIt to join the conversation and tweet along.

The 19-year-old Wallace is an African-American professional stock car driver currently driving the No. 54 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota fulltime in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (@NASCAR_Trucks).

Wallace became the youngest Keystone 21 Means 21 pole award winner in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at 19 years, seven months and 24 days at Dover (Del.) International Speedway earlier this season. After 10 races, he’s collected one top five and six top 10s. Last year in the NASCAR Nationwide Series Wallace won the pole at Dover in only his fourth start. He finished with three top 10s in four races.

He has collected six victories in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East over three seasons. As a member of NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity program and driver for Rev Racing in 2010 and 2011 he collected victories at Greenville-Pickens (S.C.) Speedway, Lee (N.H.) USA Speedway, Richmond (Va.) International Raceway, Columbus (Ohio) Motor Speedway and Dover. He won at Greenville-Pickens in March of last year, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing. He won the last two races from the pole.
