They call it ‘March Madness’, and it is for a reason. Even NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace isn’t an exception to the incredible pull of this madness. In fact, his reaction, albeit brief, sums it up for everyone who saw the recent fixtures of games.

While Wallace’s team, the Tennessee Vols will play tonight against Michigan Wolverines, it seems the NASCAR history maker is already having fun with the other games.

The 23XI Racing driver tweeted, “Wow!! #MarchMadness”

How has the season been so far for Bubba Wallace?

Bubba Wallace’s season began pretty disappointedly with an 18th place finish in the exhibition Clash at the LA Coliseum. The No.23 driver had missed most of the crucial pre-season testing with the new car, and his struggles in getting used to it and understanding it were pretty evident in Los Angeles.

But then came the superspeedway racing at the Daytona 500, and his luck also changed, well, almost.

Wallace finished in second, inches away from winning the prestigious race in what would have been his second superspeedway win in a row after last year’s Talladega success.

Yet despite the bittersweet positive result of second place, Wallace failed to build positive momentum on it.

He finished in 19th place in Fontana, in 25th place in Las Vegas, and in 22nd place in Phoenix most recently.

But this weekend in Atlanta, Bubba Wallace might just turn around his luck. This is because the newly repaved and reconfigured Atlanta Motor Speedway is being touted as a superspeedway.

It at least has the same horsepower and aero package as Daytona and Talladega, and we all know how the 23XI Racing driver fared in those two.

Wallace will start in 19th place on Sunday as he’d look to register his first win of the season and the second of his career that has been tainted with inconsistent results throughout.
