Bubba Wallace Jr. has not had the year he would have hoped for in 2022. The 23XI Racing driver has not been able to deliver results as the team has struggled with poor performances as a whole.
The Mobile, Alabama native drove his No. 23 Toyota Camry TRD to a second-place finish in the opening race of the season at Daytona International Speedway. Since then, results have been hard to come-by. The team also got caught on the wrong end of the rules when a wheel came off Wallace Jr.'s car in Austin.
Wallace Jr. felt confident going into the weekend at Talladega Superspeedway in Lincoln, Alabama, for the 2022 GEICO 500. Super speedways have been a strong area for the 28-year-old as the team searched for good results.
The final lap saw a mad dash to the line by a pack of cars, which included both 23XI drivers. The team was on for a good result, only to be undone by Kyle Larson's defense that caused Kurt Busch to hit the wall and tag his teammate Wallace Jr. along the way.
Wallace Jr. spoke on the radio to his team while trying to catch his breath after a major impact and said:
“There’s a new P1. I don’t know if I can take any more f****** hits like that.”
This was the second instance of the 2022 season, where Bubba Wallace Jr. was taken out on the final lap of a race on a speedway. The newly re-profiled Atlanta Motor Speedway saw Wallace Jr. run in P2 behind William Byron when he made contact with Justin Haley.
This sent the No. 23 driver into the wall, putting an end to his chances of a victory on the spot.
Bubba Wallace Jr.'s car switches back to a Leidos livery for Dover Motor Speedway
