“We Are So Much Better..” – Bubba Wallace Fires Warning Shot at His NASCAR Rivals as the 23XI Driver Looks to Build on Last Season’s Exploits

As this season wraps up with Joey Logano as the 2022 Cup Series Champion, on the other side of the boat, Bubba Wallace is of the opinion that he has had a decent season overall, considering his own team a pretty good rank. Wallace also recently expressed that he felt confident about the upcoming season.

Wallace said, “One hundred per cent. Just having conversations about how we are so much better as a team and as a manufacturer from Phoenix one to Phoenix two, it just makes you think about how much better you’ll be starting the year off. It took us all year to figure out this car; we’re still figuring it out day by day. Having the right people in our camp and back at the shop figuring all that out to get us ready and prepped for next year is super exciting.”

Bubba has never been this enthusiastic for an upcoming season and his tone sounds like there is more to come from Wallace in the 2023 Cup Series Championship. Late into this year, Wallace’s performances improved, which saw him in the top half of the grid. He was even able to pick up a win at Kansas. However, with his blooming confidence for next year, it seems as if the 23XI Racing driver is confident that he would compete in the playoffs if all goes well.

How did Bubba Wallace perform in the last season?

Wallace‘s season did not specifically start out too strong, however nearing the end, his performance graph saw a drastic upturn.

The 23XI Racing driver was slow to adapt to the new generation of cars. He also ran into issues with his pit crew, and his uncontrolled bursts of anger proved to be his detriment. However, halfway into the season, he received a pit crew swap from Joe Gibbs Racing‘s Christopher Bell, following which we observed a noticeable improvement in performance with Wallace’s stops.
