NASCAR Spotter Advise Denny Hamlin Against Making “Idiot” Decision on Bubba Wallace-Martin Truex Jr Playoff Race

Bubba Wallace’s spotter, Freddie Kraft, mapped out the ideal situation involving the #23 driver and Joe Gibbs Racing at Daytona. Fellow spotters, Brett Griffin, TJ Majors, and industry insider Casey Boat also join in on the discussion.

During the Door Bumper Clear podcast spotter, Freddie Kraft mentioned, “My ideal situation at Daytona is Bubba and Truex are side by side off of four and the eleven’s coming with a run, where does the 11 go.”

To which Brett Griffin said, “He [Denny Hamlin] is an idiot if he doesn’t push Bubba. We talked about it last week, who would you rather have in the Chase? Would you race Martin for the championship or Bubba?”

Kraft interjects and asked, “Where would Joe Gibbs expect Denny to go?” Industry insider, Casey Boat answered the question by stating, “I would think he would expect him to go for Bubba either way.”

Bubba Wallace signs a multi-year contract extension with the 23XI Racing team

Bubba Wallace is considered one of the most popular drivers currently in NASCAR. However, his season this year was marred by a rocky start.

He had multiple issues with the pit crew early on, which led to a pit crew swap with that of JGR’s Christopher Bell.

Since then, Wallace has been showing improvement more consistently. Moreover, to boost Wallace’s spirits, 23XI Racing recently confirmed that they signed an extension deal with the 28-year-old driver.

Bubba Wallace will remain in the number 23 car of the 23XI Racing team, which is co-founded by, Denny Hamlin and NBA Legend Michael Jordan.

During an interview, Wallace stated, “It feels great to get this renewal done and to know I have a home at 23XI Racing, Thanks to MJ and Denny for continuing to believe in me. We’ve come a long way together in less than two years and we’ve checked off some major goals along the way.”

“We know we still have work to do, both on and off the racetrack, but I feel good about our team and the direction we’re heading.”
