Bubba Wallace Showers Praise on Sheldon Creed and Reacts to Enthralling NASCAR Truck Series Championship Race

At the Phoenix Raceway, there was an incredible Truck restart with just 3 laps to go. Apparently, Dawson Cram spun off and triggered the caution.

Around that time, Sheldon Creed was running 9th and biding his time. When the lights turned green, he struck, and 3 laps later, he somehow won the race. In light of this, Bubba Wallace reacted to the start and thoroughly enjoyed it.

This was an important race for all 4 championship contenders, and they really fought hard. In the end, though, there could only be one winner, and that honor went to Sheldon Creed. The 23-year-old put in a stellar performance and came almost from nowhere to slot into 3rd place.

From there, he was able to overtake the 1st and 2nd-placed cars and took the lead. Since the track was so wide, he took capital advantage of the ‘real estate’ and picked the shortest line possible. The track’s width allowed for several cars to go wheel-to-wheel into the corners.

Bubba Wallace was one of several spectators who enjoyed the show

Bubba Wallace took to Twitter because he found the Truck race truly entertaining. In fact, this race was hugely unpredictable and any of the four contenders could have won. Even if another driver had won the race, everything would boil down to whoever crossed the finish line first.

It is worth noting that as soon as Sheldon Creed grabbed the lead, he immediately took off. He built up a gap of several car lengths as he simply rabbited off into the distance. In the end, he took a comfortable win and sealed the championship in the process.

It is also interesting to note that Bubba Wallace praised Creed’s team for executing a great strategy. As it turned out, they pitted Creed at the opportune time, so he had fresher tires for one last push for the win.
