Bubba Wallace bemoans unacceptable performance in 2024 after Coke Zero Sugar 400 loss

23XI Racing’s Bubba Wallace came into Saturday’s Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona with the hopes of finally ending his two yearlong winless streak and secure a spot in the 2024 playoffs. But his dream was shattered as Harrison Burton scored his maiden win to lock-in a place in the playoff, while also knocking him out of the last-16.

Going into Martinsville for the regular season finale next-week, Bubba Wallace is 21 pints off of Chris Buescher who is P16 in the standing and the winning the event is the most viable way for him to secure a spot in the playoffs. What makes his run more disappointing is the fact that his teammate Tyler Reddick is the points leader with two wins to his name.

Bubba Wallace: "Got one care fighting for a regular season championship and another on the bubble. It's unacceptable. I'll take all that weight on my shoulders. I should've won multiple times and I haven't. We don't even deserve to be here and we aren't. Gotta go win, that's it."

He took the blame for the poor race and asserted that he should have multiple races in the 2024 season. The No:23 Toyota driver claimed that he doesn’t even deserve to be in the playoff bubble.

Got one car fighting for a regular season championship and another on the bubble. It’s unacceptable. I’ll take all that weight on my shoulders. I should’ve won multiple times, and I haven’t. We don’t even deserve to be here, and we aren’t. Gotta go win, that’s it.

The Toyota driver should drive back home and have some time to himself, maybe listen to his favorite song and get his mind calm. After the he should start working hard to pull off a win at Next-weeks race at Darlington.
