“All Ya Can Do is Laugh” – Bubba Wallace’s Reaction Sums Up His Unlucky NASCAR Outing at COTA

Unlucky would be an understatement for Bubba Wallace when it comes to his recent races. The man has got into so many unlucky incidents lately that they can’t even be counted. His loss of transmission just before the race in the Circuit of the Americas is one more example.

NASCAR was in COTA for the sixth round of the Cup Series where unfortunately Bubba did not feature and ended up in 38th place. With a DNF and just 2 points on board the outing hasn’t been great for the man.

The 23XI Racing driver suffered yet another technical difficulty and could just sit there and watch Ross Chastain take the victory. The driver then took to Twitter to share his disappointment.

Talking about Bubba’s technical issue, Bob Pockrass, NASCAR journalist for FOX Sports conveyed, “Sounds like Bubba Wallace has lost second gear. Team doesn’t sound optimistic that transmission will last through the end of the race.”
