Bubba Wallace Finishes Second at New Hampshire Motor Speedway

Bubba Wallace achieved his best finish of the 2026 NASCAR Cup season by placing second at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, just behind Ryan Blaney.

During the final ten laps, Wallace narrowed the gap to Blaney, who was momentarily slowed by a lapped car. However, Wallace lost his chance at victory when he overcooked a turn, causing him to slide up the track. Despite this setback, he managed to maintain his position and finished the race without further incident.

Wallace expressed disappointment over not securing the win, noting the challenges of handling his car and navigating slower traffic. He currently sits 75 points above the cut-line, positioning him favorably as the series moves towards Daytona.
