After a chaotic race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, where Ryan Blaney registered his first victory of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season. However, the Coco-Cola 600 race involved plenty of other significant incidents. One of them involved fourth-placed finisher, Bubba Wallace. Despite an impressive run, the 23XI Racing didn’t quite look happy with his team.

It is no secret how Wallace has had his struggles this campaign. Having said that, he has done a commendable job of bouncing back specifically in the last three races, including the one in North Carolina.

There is no denying the amazing talent Bubba Wallace possesses. The fact that his boss, Denny Hamlin, has time and again publicly supported him speaks volumes in this regard. However, it has to materialize very soon. Despite having four DNFs quite early in the season, Wallace is slowly but surely finding his way back.

Naturally, the Coca-Cola 600 race was an important one, and he didn’t disappoint. Safe to say, Wallace had his struggles prior to the race with NASCAR’s inspection. Having lost out his car chief and a favorable pit stall position, it was always going to be tricky. Yet, the 29-year-old did an amazing job to finish fourth in the race.

In fact, this finish makes it three back-to-back top-five finishes. This certainly does help him immensely in his bid to make it to the playoffs. However, it could have gone much better on Monday had he not suffered from an unforced error from his 23XI Racing team. Wallace was handed a penalty in Stage 2 of the race due to equipment interference.

Furious by the reckless approach, Wallace slammed his team over the radio. He said, “All we’re doing is just killing ourselves. We’ll never get a chance to see victory lane if we keep f*cking up.”

It is surely not the first time the Alabama-born driver has faced such problems. Such issues will become a hurdle to Wallace and his ambitions sooner or later. However, the fans don’t see it that way.

It is no secret how Bubba Wallace’s actions have more often than not divided opinions. Ever since he demanded to be replaced earlier this season, he has been in the public eye with his performances.

In fact, he has been criticized for not stepping up his game and a similar scenario is witnessed after his recent comments. Fans on Twitter have left no stone unturned in slamming him.

“And he runs out of talent once again.  Has no business running at the cup level.”

“Let me correct you @BubbaWallace all you’re doing is showing your lack of talent. You’re a mid tier driver at best. Face it.”

“Bubba Walace needs a bumper sticker on the back of all his racecars that says CRYBABY ON BOARD.”

“In 196 cup races you have 2 wins, chances aren’t great anyway!”

“It’s always someone else’s fault with the guy.”

While the criticism is debatable, it would be interesting to see what actions Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin take after the pit road incident at Charlotte. Do you think a reduction in such issues will enhance Wallace’s performance? Let us know in the comments below.
