But fortunately for him, he has by his side, Kurt Busch, his teammate and NASCAR’s current most experienced driver who has been through it all. This was what he recently revealed in an interview, that he did give some advice to Wallace about the mistakes that he’s making and the bad run he’s in right now.

“I’m like, ‘Hey, man, I’ve been here,” Busch said. “‘I’m right there with you. I’m a racer. I’m passionate. We just have to get to that next level of professionalism.’”

Busch himself admitted that he embraced the role of a mentor-teammate for Wallace, who has mostly been on his own in his NASCAR career. But in order for this to work, Busch feels, Wallace needs to admit his weaknesses, and he, his.

 “I’m not the oracle or anything, but I feel like I can help him. And I know I can learn things from him because that’s how I think I’ve stayed relevant for 22 years is continuing to learn and being adaptive to the situations,” he added.
