Bubba Wallace A Quality Sleeper Despite Poor Phoenix Record
1 year agoPhoenix Raceway hasn't been the best track for Bubba Wallace during his Cup Series career. In 11 total starts here, Bubba has just three top-15 finishes with a best-ever result of 10th-place coming in the fall 2018 race. That may change this weekend, though. Wallace qualified a career-best 5th for this weekend's NASCAR Cup Series Championship race, and that is also his first starting position better than 19th at this race track. In practice on Friday, the No. 23 Toyota looked to have good long-run speed, ranking sixth-fastest in 20-lap average. This weekend at Phoenix, Goodyear brought the same tire combination that was used during the New Hampshire race, and Bubba finished 8th there. Although his track record isn't that great at Phoenix, the 23XI Racing driver does have decent upside on Sunday.
