Bubba Wallace Collects First Career Daytona 500 Duel Victory
3 mins agoDuring Thursday night's Daytona 500 Duel Race No. 1, Bubba Wallace drove his No. 23 23XI Racing Toyota into victory lane. Starting the race from the 15th position, Wallace quickly made his way through the field into the top 10 before connecting with his teammate Tyler Reddick. Wallace and Reddick became drafting partners and soared to the front, leading Wallace to take and lose the lead multiple times as he remained in the top 10. In the final few laps of the race, Reddick gave Wallace a push into the lead, and Wallace never looked back, leading the final three laps and holding off William Byron to score his first Duel victory. As a result, Bubba Wallace will start Sunday's Daytona 500 from the third position, setting him up as a potential early dominator for the main event.
