Julien's Auctions has announced that Darrell "Bubba" Wallace Jr.'s historic Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 will join the PROPERTY From the Collection of Richard Petty, the highly anticipated motorsports auction event of the season, May 12 live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas and online.

On February 18, Wallace Jr. raced the No. 43 Click n' Close Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 to second place in his first Daytona 500.

This historic car is signed by Wallace himself and estimated to sell between $70,000 – $90,000.

"This car is always going to be special to me," said Wallace Jr. "It was my first Daytona 500 and was such an emotional race. This car was the best place for me to be. It was an amazing day with this car."

"Julien's Auctions is thrilled to offer this legendary car driven by NASCAR's next generation, Darrell "Bubba" Wallace Jr.," said Darren Julien, President/Chief Executive Officer of Julien's Auctions. "This special car has made its way into the books of NASCAR history and rightfully belongs in the Victory Lane of "The King" Richard Petty's collection of championship cars, trophies and motorsports memorabilia to be offered at auction."
