There was chaos at Kansas. Blown tires. Pit-road mistakes. Multi-car crashes. Trouble on the playoff grid. Bubba Wallace rose above it all.
Wallace emerged late in the afternoon as a power in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway and held on to score the second win of his career.
At the end, Wallace outran Denny Hamlin, one of the owners of the 23XI Racing team for which Wallace drives. Wallace took the lead with 43 laps to go and wasn’t seriously challenged the rest of the way.
He led 58 laps total. For the second straight week, a non-playoff driver won a race, making Saturday’s race at Bristol Motor Speedway a critical one for much of the playoff field.
