Bubba Wallace Improving On Road Courses But Likely Won't Contend At Watkins Glen
3 weeks agoRoad courses have always been Bubba Wallace's Achilles heel in the NASCAR Cup Series, as he has only achieved one top-five and two top-10 finishes in 30 road-course starts, with those coming on the Indianapolis and Charlotte rovals that are quite different from a natural road course like Watkins Glen. Having said that, he's definitely improved in recent years and has probably been aided by the setup notes from his teammate Tyler Reddick, one of the best road racers in the Cup Series. In last year's Watkins Glen race, Wallace started and finished 12th, easily his best result in both categories, although this season he has arguably regressed, as his qualifying position of 32nd is his worst ever at Watkins Glen. He'll likely have an anonymous mid-pack run in Sunday's race.
