In a recent Twitter post, NASCAR spotter Brett Griffin talked about an amusing incident with Bubba Wallace. He revealed that the 23XI Racing driver once appeared on the Door Bumper Clear podcast.

According to Griffin, there was something that involved the driver and team owner Michael Jordan. Apparently, spotter Freddie Kraft was privy to the details and Griffin tried to pry out the secrets.

There was this one time when @BubbaWallace came on and there was something going on with him and Michael Jordan and Freddie knew but I didn’t. But had heard rumblings and asked Bubba about it. And @FreddieKraft about 💩 https://t.co/2IsRVRleZ4

Unfortunately, it seems that nobody really has an idea of what exactly they were talking about. Griffin did confess that he heard rumbling, but nothing really concrete. Unfortunately for him, Kraft was pretty tight-lipped on the whole affair and did not disclose any details.

For now, the driver is aiming to try and make it into the Playoffs and has been turning in consistent performances lately. To be precise, he has racked up consecutive Top 10 finishes in the last three races. Sadly, they aren’t exactly wins, so it does not guarantee him a shot at the Playoffs.

However, there are still four races left and plenty of time to turn things around. This is provided that no other new driver snatches a first win of the season.

Of course, this will be no easy task, especially with him far down the order in the points standings. So for him, nothing less than a win will ensure that he qualifies for the Playoffs.

In addition, there are drivers like Martin Truex Jr, Ryan Blaney, and Kevin Harvick, who will be motivated to win and qualify. At the moment, Blaney and Truex Jr are in the best positions. They currently have a spot in the playoffs, despite no wins. Harvick, on the other hand, requires a miracle to try and outscore his rivals, if he can’t snatch a win.
