Denny Hamlin and Bubba Wallace are accustomed to hanging out with a G.O.A.T. these days, but what about a “rockstar?”
In the latest video from American rapper and singer/songwriter Post Malone, a track called “Motley Crew,” which also features former Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, 23XI Racing co-owner Hamlin and driver Wallace get some screen time. Lee, a longtime rock icon, was also the 2019 Auto Club grand marshal, and he helped hype up Cole Custer for the playoffs last year.
The movie was shot at Auto Club Speedway and featured the two Cup Series drivers, as well as four NASCAR Racing Experience cars: Wallace’s Root Insurance, a 23XI wrap for Hamlin, the standard NRE No. 43, and a Raising Cane’s Chicken wrap. Malone races against other NASCAR stock cars in the video, winning the race, and then celebrating with his “Motley Crew” in Victory Lane.
“Had an incredible time shooting at Auto Club Speedway with Denny, Bubba and everyone else that came out to party,” Malone said. “Thank you to my NASCAR family.”

The new song, which was released on Friday, is Malone’s first new music since the release of his Hollywood’s Bleeding album in 2019. Ten Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards, and an MTV Video Music Award are among Malone’s achievements. During his career, he has also gotten six Grammy nominations.
“The Post Malone video was a good time,” Hamlin said. “I’m a fan of Post Malone and to be able to represent NASCAR and 23XI Racing in his latest music video was great. We experienced their side of things, now I’d love to get those guys to a race and show them around our team and the ins and outs of NASCAR, take them around the track in one of our Camrys and let them get the true feel of our cars. It was a good day overall. Looking forward to seeing the finished video this week with everyone else.”
Lee, Wallace, Hamlin, Big Sean, French Montana, Kerwin Frost, LoveLeo, SAINt JHN, Ty Dolla $ign, Tyga, Pressa, Trinidad James, and Tyla Yaweh, who performed a bespoke version of “All the Smoke” for this year’s Daytona 500 before attending the race, make appearances in the video, which was directed by Cole Bennett and co-produced by DreVision Media.
“It was a really cool experience,” Wallace said. “The whole thing came together pretty quick, but great opportunity and a lot of fun. These are the things that we need to continue to do to bring new eyes and fans to our sport. From meeting Post Malone, everyone involved, being in the video, seeing it all come together, whirlwind 24 hours, but awesome time.”
This isn’t the first time Wallace and Malone have crossed paths. Back in 2018 during the height of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, the avid gamer recruited Malone and fellow rapper Drake to “squad up” with him in the survival game.
