Bubba Wallace’s Honest Reflection on Sunday’s NASCAR Race, “I just choked”
Bubba Wallace had a promising start, grabbing the pole position for the big NASCAR Cup Series Playoff race on Sunday. However, things didn’t quite go as planned when the critical moment arrived.
This 23XI Racing driver seemed set for a win, but during the final restart, he got overtaken from the outside. In a moment of raw honesty, Wallace admitted, “I just choked. I had my worst restart.”
He shared his disappointment with PRN, saying, “I hate it for my team. You have to go out there and fight for it and not give it away. I gave it away. This one is going to sting a little bit.”
