Bubba Wallace, Mark Hamill unveil Star Wars 'X-Wing' inspired scheme for No. 23 Toyota

The force is now with Bubba Wallace, courtesy of Columbia and Mark Hamill — better known as Luke Skywalker.

Since taking his talents to 23XI Racing, Wallace has had some amazing paint schemes. Well, his latest one, courtesy of Columbia’s Star Wars collection, absolutely takes the top spot in the galaxy.

Check it out below, as Wallace and Hamill unveiled an X-Wing-inspired scheme for the No. 23. We’re willing to bet die-casts for this one are going to sell out at light-speed.

Knock, knock. @BubbaWallace and @23XIRacing found the ultimate wingman in @MarkHamill with the No. 23 “X-wing” Toyota Camry TRD inspired by Columbia’s latest STAR WARS™ collection unveiling tomorrow at https://t.co/B83yS0S236 pic.twitter.com/sRPoBdvicI

As you can see, Wallace even gets handed his Star Wars-inspired helmet from Hamill, like Rey learning from Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi. It doesn’t get much better than that.

While Wallace didn’t make it to the Championship 4 this season, he’s certainly a winner for being able to land such amazing partners. We can’t wait to see this X-Wing scheme on the track, and see if it can live up to its billing when it’s time.

Ryan Blaney wins Xfinity 500 at Martinsville, advances to Championship 4

Meanwhile, Wallace’s friend (and fellow Star Wars fan) Ryan Blaney is headed to the Championship 4 in Phoenix for a shot at the Bill France Cup for the first time in his career. Blaney gets his first-ever Martinsville win and locks himself into the NASCAR championship race. It was an excellent drive from start to finish. 

It represented the second week in a row where Ryan Blaney appeared to have the best car. This week he finished the race off. Blaney had to battle Aric Almirola in the end. He fought off Denny Hamlin, driving through traffic quicker and more efficiently. It was a championship-level performance from the Team Penske driver. 

An unusually hot Halloween weekend in Martinsville, Blaney powered through it. 

Blaney, Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell, and William Byron will race for a championship next Sunday.

Ryan Blaney has now won two races in the NASCAR Playoffs. His win at Martinsville comes after a lot of great runs there, but he had never gotten the job done. That is, until now. He’s going to give Team Penske a shot at back-to-back championships. 

Martin Truex Jr., Denny Hamlin, Tyler Reddick, and Chris Buescher were eliminated from the NASCAR Playoffs. They were unable to get enough points or win to advance. They’ll begin looking ahead to next season, as this weekend comes along.
