Bubba Wallace Not as Strong at Bristol as Other Short Tracks

Despite Poor Qualifying Run, Daniel Suarez Might Not Be a Great Choice for Place Differential Points
September 13, 2025
Although Bubba Wallace hasn't clinched a spot in the Round of 12, since he is 50 points ahead of Austin Dillon for the final playoff spot, he pretty much doesn't have to worry even if he fails to finish. Wallace is on a run of arguably the greatest consistency of his career as he has posted six top tens in his last eight starts including his Brickyard 400. One of the two races he didn't was the last short track race at Richmond, where he dominated and led 123 laps before losing a wheel. Wallace has become one of the low-key best short track racers in the series recently after also finishing third at Martinsville and sixth at Iowa, but despite finishing third at Bristol last year, he's kind of been snakebitten here. Nonetheless, given his hot streak and his eighth-place starting position, expect his general speed on short tracks to carry over here. He's definitely worthy of DFS consideration.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
