Bubba Wallace's Nascar's Nascar Playoff campaign from Bubba's Bubba's Nascar made a brake on Pocono Raceway forced the 23XI driver to the wall and leaving the race before the half.

The incident, which echoed similar issues for his teammates of 23xi Racing, Tyler Redick and Riley Herbst, left Wallace two positions in the driver's standings and launched new doubts about his hopes of post -season with nine races remaining in the regular season.

The privileged person of Nascar, Jeff Gluck, summed up the day The tear Podcast:

“Now even look Bubba Wallace, someone who went into the conversation here because he lost two points when his brake rotor failed, as Riley Herbst did, and also Tyler Redick had to come to the garage to ensure that this would not happen to him. So 23XI goes 32nd, 36th, 37th today.” (21:15 onwards)

17 races in the Cup series 2025 have produced 11 different winners. Bubba Wallacewho came in the weekend of Pocono sitting tenth place in points, started on the back. The unqualified adjustments after sorting -they relegated their number 23 Toyota to the back of the field.

What followed was worse. A fault of tires of the 56 vault on the right caused by a broken brake rotor sent Wallace's car to the wall of shift 2. He retired to Volta 62 and was then evaluated and released from the Center for Care for Hell. But the damage to their playoff campaign was much more durable.

All three 23XI RACING Toyotas faced significant mishap in Pocono. ROKIE Riley Herbst also came out soon after a similar problem related to the vault 43.

Playoff 2025 image is narrowing as Bubba Wallace clings to thin margin

Before Pocono, Bubba Wallace had built a solid case for a playoff site with six top-10 finishes, including strong exhibitions in Michigan and Martinsville. But he has also published four finishes outside the first 30 places. Sunday DNF further interrupted its rhythm that has defined its 2025 campaign.

It is currently only 29 markers above the cutting line. This fragile margin seems to be more and more dangerous, given the pattern of new winners. It Cup series He has seen six winners for the first time in the last eight weeks, reducing the remaining number of playoffs that can be claimed only at points. As Gluck stated The tear:

“Bubba (Wallace) is now only what – 29 points for good, where I was having a really consistent season. So suddenly there are five points in points, and suddenly you go,” Wow, the weather is over here. “With more road courses, more higher, there will probably be more different winners … even if you are Bubba or Chris Buescher, people like now, nervous.” (21:40 onwards)

It Playoff image wider reflects Gluck's concern. Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell directed the Playoff graph with three wins each. Behind, eight drivers have achieved all their posts with a victory each.

Among those who have no victory, Chase Elliott and Tyler Redick have healthy pillows (+160 and +107 on the cutting line, respectively). Chris Buescher, 14th in the standings, has a 38 -point advantage. Below Wallace, Alex Bowman clings to the 16th with a 20-point vacuum on Ryan Preece, while Aj Allmendinger (-59), Erik Jones (-62) and Kyle Busch (-63) remain a short distance.

And if the wave of winners for the first time continues, Bubba Wallace may soon find that the points will not be enough to save their 2025 campaign.
