Ahead of this afternoon’s Tennessee-Georgia football game, Bubba Wallace was taking in some Volunteer tailgating. The NASCAR star is a big Vols fan and wanted to make sure he caught this weekend’s marquee game.

Vols and Dawgs, it rarely gets better than that. Neyland Stadium is going to be hopping and Bubba Wallace will at least be in attendance from the parking lot. These NASCAR drivers all have RVs and mobile homes, and Bubba is putting his to good use this offseason.

NASCAR drivers miss out on half of the NFL season and most of the college football season, so good for Bubba to get out there and enjoy the season while it is still here.

Forget F1 in Las Vegas, it’s all about KnoxVegas for the 23XI Racing driver.

Now, Bubba Wallace wasn’t going to just go to Knoxville and not get noticed. How could he? The NASCAR driver was spotted by a fan with a keen eye. Of course, he was open to taking a photo.

It’s all about the Vols today, y’all! At least for Bubba and Dalton here.

It seems that the offseason is off to a good start for Wallace.

Bubba Wallace hoping to see massive upset

Of course, this year’s Tennessee and Georgia game doesn’t carry the same weight as games in years past. Yes, Georgia is the top-ranked team in the country. Yes, Tennessee is ranked 18th overall. However, three losses on the year for the Vols lessens this matchup – unless you happen to be a Vols or Dawgs fan that is.

This rivalry is almost always fun. I think I like Tennessee more this year in the game just because they don’t have anything to lose. That makes football teams dangerous. They’re going to go bowling and all of that this postseason, but they might as well pull out all of the stops and try to cause chaos for Georgia.

A one-loss Georgia team makes the College Football Playoffs even more difficult to predict. For Bubba Wallace and Tennessee fans, they’re hoping to see a massive upset today in Knoxville to make sure that happens.

In the early going, the Vols have Georgia mixed up and the crowd is loving it. We’ll see if that trend continues.
