DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Bubba Wallace vowed to try to “enjoy the little stuff” this season. It showed in victory lane.
“Can I get a Rolex for this one?” Wallace quipped, referring to what winners receive after the Rolex 24 at Daytona sports car race.
Wallace, driving the No. 23 Toyota for 23XI Racing, won the first of two qualifying races Thursday for the upcoming Daytona 500. He showed enough speed to make him one of the favorites heading into “The Great American Race.”
“Man, what a night,” Wallace said.
