In addition to that, Bubba Wallace has been consistently in the Top 10 for the past couple of races. However, they have made mistakes, which were costly.
Talking more about it, he said, “There’s no greater feeling than winning. We know and recognize how different our season could have gone under certain circumstances. The one thing you can’t knock is the speed we’ve had in our cars during some of those bad races.”
“If we keep up this speed, everything will come together. We’ve had mistakes – either on my end or the team’s end. It’s not taking ourselves out of races and producing the best results. We have some stuff to clean up on our end.”
