While there were a lot of celebrations at the Auto Club Speedway, with Kyle Busch being at the center of it, it was not a lucky day for 23XI Racing driver Bubba Wallace. Though the race started well for him, his car had other plans. Despite this sad end to his race, the 29-year-old’s wife, Amanda Wallace, had something witty to say about it.
At the Cup Series race, Wallace was on the track, firing on all cylinders, and it looked like a good day for the team. But his #23 Toyota Camry did not cooperate. The car’s hood was seen steaming on pit road when he still had twenty-five laps more to go. The team could not complete the race, and the driver was left with his back to the wall. Though he had a good start and anticipated a top-ten finish, it did not end well for them.

While this time it was not Wallace’s fault, but rather his car’s, that left him down in the dumps, Amanda addressed the drivers’ hard luck and hoped for a better race in Las Vegas. Soon, she added another picture to her story. In the picture, we saw Wallace’s #23 Toyota Camry, all dirty. Amanda captioned her story with ‘dirty girl’, blaming the car for the misfortune of Sunday.
