New year, old problem for Bubba Wallace and the No. 23 team in the NASCAR Cup Series
After 25 races since the start of the season, Wallace has failed to put his race car in victory lane and may miss the finals. Speed is not an issue for the #23 team.
However, they were unable to carry out their plans on the racetrack. We’ve seen a depressed Bubba Wallace before, inked and full of emotion after a disappointing match. However, the driver’s demeanor has changed this year looking calm and composed despite the challenges he has faced. Baba Wallace’s focus is on doing well in stressful situations
Last year, Wallace did the same to make the playoffs. Without a winner and relying on points and one game until the end of the regular season. Chris Buescher’s victory at Daytona last year propelled him into the playoffs, but with a 21-point lead at the finish line, the odds are stacked against him this time. Instead of rushing out and throwing the kitchen sink in a last ditch effort to save time, Wallace decided to stay behind. That’s not to say he’s given up hope of turning it around this year, but it just means he’s still in control. You only show anger, what you did to your child; This is important, and this is what I do. “If we don’t win, we get angry, but more positive perspective helps us to act naturally instead of criticizing.” In addition to his commitment to the racing team, he is about to become a father. This seems to give a new perspective on his response to depression. “I’m in a very blessed and fortunate place to be in the sport with this team and these guys. And I have a baby on the way, so everything you talked about falls under that. section. I can’t give “One bad run. will ruin the rest of my year, this is it.
;s=19 Bubba Wallace and the #23 team bring their “A-game” this weekend at Darlington Raceway. However, they can still make it to the finals and win, the good thing about them is that they don’t have the speed to win the race. Tyler Reddick, in the No. 45 car, has done it twice.
Will Wallace break his 68 game winning streak at Darlington?
If the #23 team is on the playoff bubble, things will be easier for the #23 team. 21 points after driving 16 puts them in a solid position. In addition, he is fighting Chris Bosher and Ross Chastain in the final race.
But despite being stuck in this situation, Wallace’s excellent record at Darlington Raceway could save him. With the 30-year-old driver winless in his last 68 races, it’s hard to bet on him winning the 500 South. The impressive points can take him to the finals.
Wallace has 10 finishes in his five starts at Darlington Raceway. He finished P7 during the 2024 spring race, so his job was to hold off Bucher and Chastain as they crossed the start and finish lines. Again, this is just a scientific hypothesis. Expect drama and surprises at the end of this weekend’s season finale.
