FEBRUARY 26

Fifth-Place in Ambetter Health 400 Wallace finished fifth in the Ambetter Health 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway Sunday evening.

Impact For the second-straight week, Wallace would make the most of a superspeedway race. The 23XI Racing veteran would drive from the mid-pack to the front to lead 3 laps during this 400-mile battle. Wallace would use his knowledge of drafting and knack for good timing in these high-stakes races to get into the second row of the field on the last lap. He'd push the low groove driver, Ryan Blaney, to a runner-up finish and nab a strong fifth-place finish for the second week to start the season.

Fifth-Place in Daytona 500 Wallace finished fifth in the Daytona 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Daytona International Speedway on Monday evening.

Impact With eighth- and seventh-place stage finishes to start the race, Wallace made his spot among the Top 10 most of the evening in Daytona. The 23XI Racing veteran would lead 3 laps during the Great American Race and escape the final big crash of the night to race for the win. Wallace couldn't get around the pesky Corey Lajoie coming to the checkered flag, but would collect the strong fifth-place finish. The effort continued what has been a strong career at Daytona with five Top-5 finishes and a stellar 12.4 average finish at the historic Florida oval.
