The 23XI Racing team piloted by Bubba Wallace will be one of the key attractions for racing fans heading into the 2021 Cup Series season. The NASCAR community will get a first look at the new driver-team combination, which has a buzz attached to it.
However, the ability to churn out results on track ultimately vests with the driver, and often there is a sense of pressure to that. Speaking in a press conference, Wallace talked about whether his ‘biggest pressure’ in 2021 was on the track or off it.
He said, “On the racetrack for sure. It’s just delivering results. This, for me, is the one and potentially last opportunity for me.”

With owners such as NBA legend Michael Jordan and NASCAR superstar Denny Hamlin backing the team, expectations are bound to be high. But, Wallace’s priority is to capitalize and make every opportunity count.

“And when we do have bad races, we try to grow and get better throughout and capitalize and just make every opportunity count. That’s the biggest thing,” concluded Wallace.
