Breaking down the action from NASCAR's regular-season finale, where Bubba Wallace pointed his way into the playoffs.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Bubba Wallace made the NASCAR playoffs for the first time, taking the last available spot in the 16-driver field on Saturday night at Daytona International Speedway. Meanwhile, Chase Elliott failed to make this year’s field.Tears flowed when Wallace emerged from the No. 23 car on pit road, but they surprisingly weren’t from the emotional driver. Instead, his wife Amanda stood nearby wiping her eyes in a happy moment.
How far can Wallace go in the playoffs? First-round tracks like Kansas and Bristol line up in his favor, and he’ll be a threat in the second round at Talladega. But without playoff points , it’s not going to be an easy road.Elliott was going to be the biggest story of Daytona, win or lose. As it turned out, despite his best efforts, he was unable to mount a charge with Kevin Harvick on a late restart and was out-run by RFK Racing teammates Brad Keselowski and Chris Buescher, who won the race.
