The race was a significant disappointment as Wallace struggled with a lack of speed and grip throughout the 301 laps, unable to find consistent performance despite multiple adjustments. He described the day as "a miss all around" and a "head scratcher," expressing frustration that the car "just never really went anywhere" after an optimistic start. “Just a miss all around really. We couldn’t really seem to get things going. Our best run lasted for five laps, the caution came out, and then it was just right back to no good. I hate it,” said Wallace after the race.“I felt really optimistic and marched forward at the start and it just never really went anywhere,” Bubba Wallace continued. “We kind of plateaued on Lap 5, and that was it. I hate that. It’s just a head scratcher. I told our team we’re way better than that. We know it.”Bubba Wallace conveyed to his team that they are "way better than that" and urged them to remain confident in their underlying capabilities despite the rough track performance.
