Bubba Wallace Probably Likeliest To Win Himself Into The Playoffs
3 months agoBubba Wallace is generally regarded as one of the best drafters in the NASCAR Cup Series and not without reason. Although he has never won at Daytona, he has finished second three times and has led almost every Daytona race with the Next Gen chassis. Additionally, 23XI Racing seems to have consistently fast cars on drafting tracks judging by Tyler Reddick's Duel and Talladega wins. It seems likely that Chris Buescher and Ross Chastain will be playing not to lose more than playing to win, but Wallace is probably likelier to go for the win since he is below the cutline and they are likely to outrun him at Darlington, while Wallace is probably the best of them at Daytona. As a result, expect him to deliver one of his gutsiest performances, win or lose. He's probably the most likely driver to win and in amongst those below the cutline.
