Although many people think of Bubba Wallace as being primarily an expert on drafting tracks, in recent years, he has actually had his most consistent performances on short tracks. Yesterday's race at Richmond marked the first time that he potentially had winning speed on a short track as he led a race-high and career-high 123 laps, giving him nearly twice as many laps led as his conventionally higher-rated teammte Tyler Reddick. Although Reddick won Stage 1, Wallace beat him out of the pits on the stage caution. Reddick beat Wallace out of the pits on a green-flag pit cycle before Wallace repassed him to win Stage 2 and he later also passed Michael McDowell for the lead before eventual winner Austin Dillon passed him the next lap. Wallace was beginning to fade somewhat before a loose wheel relegated him to a 28th-place finish; he still beat all three of his 23XI Racing teammates.--Sean Wrona - RotoBallerRead More News
