Bubba Wallace Scores Third Short Track Top Five of 2024 at Bristol
2 months agoBubba Wallace was the highest-finishing of the non-playoff drivers in yesterday's Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol, where he finished third after starting 11th. This continues his run as one of the lowkey best short track drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series this year as he has now posted top fives at each of the three short tracks on the current schedule and they were his best three finishes of the season. Although Wallace's teammate Tyler Reddick has been one of the leading championship contenders, Wallace has been consistently faster than Reddick on the short tracks and that continued last night as Wallace ran in the top ten for nearly the entire race while Reddick was mostly midpack throughout. Since the run of short tracks has passed, Talladega is likely Wallace's last great shot at a win this year.
