Bubba Wallace hadn’t won a NASCAR Cup Series race since 2022.
Facing overtime on Sunday at the Brickyard 400 at the iconic Brickyard Motor Speedway, Wallace was on the front row heading toward a restart.
He had superstar driver Kyle Larson on his outside, and for a moment at the green flag, they were even.
And then there was Wallace, surging ahead and away to the biggest win of his career.
