Bubba Wallace enters the 2025 Coca-Cola 600 riding a wave of momentum, sitting higher in the NASCAR Cup Series points standings after 12 races than at any other point in his career. The 23XI Racing driver has delivered consistent performances this season, including multiple top-10 finishes and competitive runs on a variety of tracks. This upward trajectory has bolstered Wallace’s confidence as he heads into one of the sport’s most grueling events.
“The progress we’ve made as a team is real,” Wallace said. “We’re building week by week, and that gives me a lot of belief heading into Charlotte.”
The Coca-Cola 600, known for testing endurance and strategy over 600 miles, is a pivotal opportunity for Wallace to continue his rise in the standings. Crew chief Bootie Barker and the 23XI team have steadily refined their setups, and Wallace’s comfort in the car is showing. While a win still eludes him this season, the No. 23 Toyota has consistently been in the mix, a stark contrast from earlier years.
Wallace knows success at Charlotte would further validate his team’s progress—and possibly set the stage for his first playoff run. “We’re in a good spot,” he said. “Now we just have to capitalize.”
