Ever since the start of this season, Bubba Wallace has been pushing for the lead of the race every weekend. However, it is bad luck which strikes him down every now and then. Following his poor start to last weekend’s race, the 23XI Racing driver saw himself tumble down the order and finish in 27th place. However, despite the sad turn of events, Wallace’s spirits were not dampened.

Despite a few bad days on the racetrack, we are sure that Wallace would be able to bounce back.

Even his boss, Denny Hamlin, had praised his performances towards the end of the last season.
