Freddie Kraft Jokes About Targeting Wallace in NASCAR 25
When asked on social media who he would “right hook” first in NASCAR 25, Freddie Kraft immediately chose Bubba Wallace, sparking fun among fans and followers. While popular mentions included drivers such as Carson Hocevar, Austin Hill, and Joey Logano—known for their aggressive racing styles—Kraft’s pick of Wallace added a humorous twist to the conversation. Despite the joke, Kraft made clear that in reality he hopes no driver impacts Wallace negatively in actual Cup Series races.
Wallace’s Success Fuels Season Momentum
This season has been notably positive for Bubba Wallace and his No. 23 team. Last month, Wallace secured his first win of the season at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, guaranteeing his place in the NASCAR playoffs. His consistent performance continues to build as he achieved a sixth-place finish at Iowa Speedway last Sunday, marking his third consecutive top-10 result.
Difficulties arose during the Iowa race, where Wallace temporarily fell two laps behind, dropping to 32nd position after suffering damage to his car’s toe link. Displaying determination, he fought back through the field and finished sixth on the lead lap, boosting his standing in the championship.
Wallace Reflects on the Challenging Race at Iowa
After the race, Wallace shared his mindset during the event, describing his composure and resilience.
I was just relaxed the whole time, really,
he said.
And it’s interesting how things shake out. We had a up-and-down day, as you mentioned. Was ready to just debrief the whole car mid-race and just figure out what we need to do to wholesale it. Had our damage, had our issues and just really fought hard to get our All True Camry back in the top 10.
