DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Bubba Wallace and Michael Jordan are feeling bullish about their debut in 23XI Racing headed into the Daytona 500.
Wallace sent Jordan to the top of scoring pylon in the first Daytona 500 practice session for their new team and the first overall for NASCAR in more than 300 days. Wallace then threatened Wednesday night to make a front-row start for Sunday's season opener but has to wait another night to find out where he'll qualify for "The Great American Race."
Wallace was selected as the driver in the first season of a new team that brought Jordan into NASCAR as a team owner.
