No matter how entertaining NASCAR turns out to be, it tends to take a toll on the drivers. It is not just the intense schedule of the season but also the pressure that comes with each race. Before the race at Nashville Superspeedway, drivers were able to get some time off. Bubba Wallace seems to have made good use of it. In fact, his latest admittance has got plenty on his side.

Wallace has always been an outspoken character, seldom shying away from his opinion. However, his recent statements indicate a positive intent from the 23XI Racing driver.

It is no secret how more often than not Wallace has been the center of attention for various reasons. However, over time, pressure has been built on him to make his chances count in the Cup Series. With only two wins in almost 200 races, better results are expected from the Alabama native.

Having said that, Wallace has done a decent job of bouncing back in the ongoing campaign. Despite registering five DNFs to his name, he currently sits in 15th place, possessing a bright chance to make it to the playoffs. While a lot of work is left to be done, his recent Instagram post proves he is on the right track.

In his off period, the 29-year-old seems to have achieved much-needed mental peace. It is significant progress from his side, especially considering how he demanded to be replaced earlier in the season. His social media post explains how he has found solace in his free time despite being mentally occupied by work.

Wallace speaks of being more focused and keen on getting the best out of his support team. As he expresses his intent to get better each and every day, his post only irks with positive vibes, which hasn’t quite been the case with him this campaign.
