Earlier, Bubba Wallace announced that he was extending his contract with 23XI Racing.

This news comes on the back of a dream run for the #23 driver, with four consecutive Top 10 finishes. Suffice to say, the new contract was a great reward for his efforts.

The best part is that it is a multi-year contract, so Wallace will be around when Tyler Reddick eventually joins the outfit.

He said, “I’ve obviously been trying to do my best this year and made some mistakes along the way, that the team wasn’t happy about.”

“But we worked on those things and we’re here.”

” So, it’s part of racing, part of sports, part of growing up and maturing. From day 1 of joining this team, I wanted to make this where I retire, a place that I call home for a really long time.”

“Just try to do the best that I can and continue those efforts.”

What else did Bubba Wallace say about the contract extension?

The driver acknowledged that any contract extension announcement is always exciting. It acts as a massive morale booster for the driver, the team, and everyone else involved.

This is why he was really thankful for the faith that 23XI Racing had in him to give him the opportunity. Now, he is enjoying a ‘really hot streak’ and it is up to him to keep up the momentum.

Now that the contract is out of the way, it is one less thing to worry about, and he can focus on racing.

Last time out at Michigan, he came awfully close to snatching his first win of the season.

To say that he was devastated would be a massive understatement. Instead, the win went to Kevin Harvick, who also snatched one of two available Playoff spots.
