What Was Bubba Wallace's Finishing Position In Chicago?
Bubba Wallace never seemed to be completely comfortable on the Chicago street course that hosted the Grant Park 220. That said, Wallace qualified middle of the pack and started the race in 14th position.
However, Wallace would lose ground throughout the day. As the race neared its conclusion, the No. 23 came into Turn 1 too hot, which forced a crash, as well as a collision with competitor Rickey Stenhouse Jr...
The accident ruined Wallace's day and forced the Grant Park 220 to go into overtime. Many NASCAR fans weren't happy with Bubba's judgment this weekend. He ultimately slumped into a 31st-place finish.
