Wallace touts Round of 12 playoff spot to those "counting us out"
Bubba Wallace, who races for 23XI Racing, entered the 2023 playoffs without a win or any playoff points, making it challenging for him to advance. Despite a seventh-place finish at Darlington, a wreck and 32nd place finish at Kansas put him at risk of being eliminated at Bristol. However, a 14th place finish, along with poor performances from Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick, allowed Wallace to move on to the Round of 12. He embraces those who doubt him, using their negativity as motivation. Wallace is guaranteed a 12th place finish overall in the series standings, even without a victory. Toyota’s strong performance on intermediate tracks gives him a chance to compete in the upcoming race at Texas. He is focused on working hard and appreciates the support of those who believe in him.
