Bubba Wallace has made plenty of noise over the last three NASCAR Cup Series races, and a former champion and Hall of Famer believes the Cup Series field should be on notice.
Wallace finished sixth in Sunday's Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway after mounting a furious charge in the closing laps. He also locked up a playoff berth on July 27 by winning the Brickyard 400.
When asked on the USA Network post-race show if Wallace is a threat in the 2025 Cup Series playoffs, 1999 Winston Cup champion Dale Jarrett expressed confidence in the 31-year-old driver.
"I don't think there's any doubt," Jarrett said on the telecast when asked if Wallace is a threat. "We're seeing a marked improvement over this team doing their job, giving Bubba cars he can drive, and the driver doing his job. Last week, they gave him a great car, but the driver did his job last week.
Today, the team did a remarkable job of repairing that race car, giving Bubba another chance, and coming back."
Wallace is now 10th in the Cup Series standings and has more top-10 finishes (nine) than his 23XI Racing teammate in Tyler Reddick (eight) through 23 races.
