Bubba Wallace will be in a precarious position at Daytona International Speedway this weekend, and it has nothing to do with three-wide racing at 200 mph.
Wallace holds the 16th and final spot in NASCAR’s Cup Series playoff standings. It’s a tenuous grip at best.
“Daytona is a race where you just kind of budget for someone new winning, and if they don’t, then you’re ahead of budget,” said three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin, who is a co-owner of Wallace’s No. 23 Toyota at 23XI Racing. “I think you still have to race smart, and if you get unlucky, then you get unlucky.”
He has a 32-point lead over Ty Gibbs of Joe Gibbs Racing. Daniel Suárez of Trackhouse Racing also is within striking distance of clinching the last spot via points. In the last four Cup races at Daytona, Riley Herbst, Landon Cassill, Cody Ware, B.J. McLeod, David Ragan, Ryan Preece, Haley and Josh Bilicki have enjoyed top-10 finishes. It’s not exactly a who’s who in the series.
