Of all the words you can choose to describe the Kansas win of Bubba Wallace, perhaps ‘dominating’ fits the best. This was also something reflected in his spotter, Freddie Kraft’s response to a question on the Door Bumper Clear podcast.

The spotter was asked to briefly describe the race for their team, to which he bluntly but aptly said, “We kicked their a**.” 

Kraft then went to speak about how they had the chance to win the race earlier in the season as well, but this time around, their driver had more confidence, something evident by a prediction Wallace made mid-race.

“The one thing I took away from yesterday’s race was the confidence Bubba had. We knew we were really fast the first race at Kansas and obviously, Kurt (Busch) won, our car was just as good,” he said. “But Bubba’s confidence was all day.”

“He literally said in the middle of the race, ‘I just need to bust this bubble to get from 7th to 5th and once I get to 5th I’m gonna get the lead, and once I get the lead, this race is over.'”

Bubba Wallace’s race win at Kansas after his win at Talladega last season meant that he now holds the place in the NASCAR history books to be the first black driver to have two wins under his name.

Speaking about this feat in a post-race interview, Wallace said, “It’s incredible.”

Having said that, Wallace emphasized that it’s not about making records or creating history, but simply being competitive and having that desire to win.

“You just want to show up and win,” he said. “Whatever history comes in after that, it all settles in behind because there’s no greater thing than winning.”
