Darrell Wallace, Jr.

The Charlotte Observer is reporting that Darrell 'Bubba' Wallace, Jr. has asked for a release from his contract with Joe Gibbs Racing.

The 21-year-old Mobile Alabama native signed with JGR as a development driver in 2010, and won 5 NASCAR Camping World Trucks Series races over the past two seasons. However, the team has thus far been unable to secure sponsorship for Wallace in any national series, which has apparently prompted the driver to seek opportunities elsewhere. A possible destination according to the Observer is Roush Fenway Racing, where Wallace would be able to move into the NASCAR XFinitiy Series for 2015.
