Bubba Wallace Struggling A Bit At Martinsville This Weekend
1 day agoOver the past couple of years, Bubba Wallace has been one of the strongest drivers at Martinsville Speedway. In addition to four straight finishes of 11th or better, Bubba also has the eighth-best average running position at this track in the Next Gen era. The No. 23 team has some work to do if they want to continue those strong runs this weekend, though. Bubba qualified back in 19th for Sunday afternoon's Xfinity 500 race (his worst starting position here since 2022), and while he wasn't slow in practice, Wallace was relatively underwhelming, as the 23XI Racing driver was just 17th-fastest on the overall speed chart and 16th-fastest when it came to 30-lap average during practice. However, with Bubba's palatable salary on DraftKings this weekend ($7,800) as well as his Place Differential upside and track history, he's still a decent DFS pick this weekend's race. If Bubba can crack the top 10 once again on Sunday afternoon, he could end up making it into the optimal DraftKings lineup on Sunday.
