NASCAR insiders slam 23XI Racing after Bubba Wallace failed to get into the playoffs despite starting the Cook Out Southern 500 from pole position.
Bubba Wallace's bid to qualify for the 16-driver NASCAR Cup Series playoffs ended in disappointment as he finished 16th in the Southern 500 at Darlington. This outcome starkly contrasts with his 23XI Racing teammate Tyler Reddick, who secured the regular-season championship. Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi from The Athletic have analyzed Wallace's season, claiming 23XI Racing 'has not done a very good job.
'They had a stretch this year of nine races where they had eight finishes outside the top-10. That's not gonna cut it especially when it's supposed to be some of his best tracks. Talladega, Kansas, Charlotte, you know, look at those places.'You have to go there and maximize it. Where he has ran as of late has been great. You have to take this six-race stretch or whatever it is and you gotta do that over 26 races.'... This is year four for Bubba Wallace at 23XI Racing.
