The 2022 season Xfinity Series champion, Ty Gibbs has been in his rookie season this year at the Cup Series. Despite replacing Kurt Busch on several occasions for the Cup Series last year, this is season is officially the rookie year for Gibbs. Looking at his overall performance up till now, his fellow teammate Denny Hamlin shared a few words about the Gibbs’ grandson.

Later on, Hamlin also drew a mindful comparison between Kyle Busch’s replacement and 23XI Racing driver, Bubba Wallace.

Hamlin stated, “Ty, I don’t know I think I have passed him about 20 times in the last two weeks. But he continues to beat me in results every week. So maybe I need to kind of look at that and figure out what I need to do. He was solid, wasn’t great, but he was solid.”

“And I think, you know, given his inexperience he’s just going to take this and continue to get better and better. And now we’re starting to see him, we’re off three straight top 10s in a row. That’s where we get for that team and his confidence.”

Hamlin concluded by saying, “Because I think Ty is one of those confidence drivers that he can get… is very similar to Bubba. People don’t realize, he’s very similar to Bubba, his emotions where he can get super high…”

Wallace has been struggling for far too long in the sport. He only has a handful of race wins to his name in all these years. Despite him being in a rather powerful team, his performance on track has not been consistent. At the start of this season, many believed that Wallace would be able to give fight for the playoffs this year. However, in every race that transpired, Wallace often found himself in an unfortunate spot during the events of these races.

This season after the race at the Circuit of the Americas, Wallace had apparently had enough. The Alabama-born Cup Series driver apparently told the media that he should be “replaced” for making a “rookie mistake,” twice.

One can understand why would Wallace say something like this. The race at COTA saw a retirement for Wallace. However, the reason for his retirement was that he collided with his rival Kyle Larson. Last year in Las Vegas, the pair came together on the track. Later on, Wallace approached Larson and shoved him around before walking away.

With his recent comments, we understand that the 23XI Racing driver is definitely frustrated with the way things are going. But looking at the brighter side, motivating comments made by the 23XI President seem to have made Wallace lift his chin up once again.
