Bubba Wallace Starts 2024 Off With Back-To-Back Top Five Finishes
6 months agoFor the second consecutive week, Bubba Wallace finished in fifth place, this time at Atlanta Motor Speedway. While race fans have come to expect big performances from the 23XI star at Daytona, the expectations were not nearly as high heading to Atlanta. Despite a 2022 reconfiguration designed to make the track race more like Daytona, the Peach State has not been as kind to the eight-year Cup veteran. In his four previous Cup starts on Atlanta's new configuration, Wallace had an average finish of 19.25, and no top-10s. Nevertheless, in Sunday's Ambetter Health 400, the No. 23 overcame his previous struggles and found a way to finish strong in what proved to be a very challenging race. Next up for the Cup Series is a trip to Las Vegas, a track that Wallace finished fourth at last spring.
