Defending champ Joey Logano and retiring Kevin Harvick were ousted and Bubba Wallace advanced as the first round of NASCAR's playoffs ended.
What was the scene like around Wallace?It took several minutes for Wallace to get out of his car, as he was overcome with emotion. 23XI Racing teammate Tyler Reddick, who also made it to Round 2 for the first time in his career, leaned into Wallace’s window for a celebratory face-to-face moment.
“I said to myself out loud, ‘Proud of you, kid.’ We all know I rarely do that,” said Wallace, who is notoriously hard on himself. , which combined with strategy miscalculation, cost Harvick a win that would have ensured advancement to the next round.“I didn’t really have many expectations with how up and down the year has been,” Harvick said. “It is what it is, and that’s probably about what we deserved.”It has to be Logano, who didn’t show speed for most of this season and had surprising struggles along with much of the Ford camp.
