“Won’t Have Sabotaged Engines This Time” – Bubba Wallace & Kyle Busch Win NASCAR Majority in Unofficial 2023 Poll

There might be multiple names that come to one’s mind when someone asks who would see major performance improvement next year. But after an unofficial pole, it seems that fans are looking forward to two drivers specifically next season.

Darian Gilliam of Black Flags Matter asked, “Give me two drivers that you think will have a major performance improvement in 2023?“

Majority of the answers reflected either, Kyle Busch or Bubba Wallace. Busch has had an unpleasant season so far. Even though he initially made it to the playoffs, he later was eliminated at Bristol after suffering an engine failure. Throughout the season there were also massive doubts lingering about the Joe Gibbs Racing driver’s future, many even question if he would be able to continue with NASCAR altogether. However, all of that was answered after, Richard Childress Racing announced that Busch would be driving with them from 2023 onwards.

On the other hand, Bubba Wallace failed to make it into the playoffs. He also struggled at the start of the season, mostly due to his long-standing issues with his pit crew. But thankfully, towards the end of the season, the 23XI racing driver was able to find his mojo back and went on to score his second career win at Kansas, while competing for the owner playoffs with Kyle Busch’s #45 car.

NASCAR fans say Bubba Wallace or Kyle Busch would most likely see massive performance boosts next year

Both drivers are on fresh contracts as they would begin their next season with their respective teams. Wallace signed a contract extension with 23XI, which surely would have played its part in motivating Wallace to perform better. Meanwhile, Kyle Busch made the jump from Joe Gibbs Racing to Richard Childress Racing after spending 15 years with JGR.
