“You look at us coming in and being on the bubble - 21 points out with a ton of pressure and I think the pressure just switched," said Wallace after earning his first pole of the 2024 season. "We’re not here to mess around."
Wallace is a driver who wears his heart on his sleeve and rarely holds back his emotions. After the race at Daytona, he called his own performance "unacceptable" and seemed defeated. However, a text from 23xi Racing co-owner Michael Jordan this week helped him to change his mindset for the better. "The things you want more, cost me," it read. Wallace returned to the track with a new perspective and ready to leave it all out on the track.
