Bubba Wallace Has Potential at Gateway Despite Poor Track Record
3 months agoWhen you look at Bubba Wallace's track record at Gateway, there's not much to like. He finished 30th here last season, which followed up a 26th-place effort in the first Cup Series race here back in 2022. However, Bubba hasn't been as bad as the numbers say. In last year's race, the No. 23 Toyota was running 11th late in the race but the car had a brake failure, which relegated Bubba to the 30th-place result. In 2022, he spun out mid-race. This weekend, Wallace qualified eighth for Sunday's Enjoy Illinois 300 and was fifth-fastest in practice. If Bubba can stay out of trouble during the race, there's no reason to think he can't contend for a top-10 result--and maybe even a top five, as the Toyotas all look to be very strong on this track type this season.
