Bubba Wallace eager to “expedite” 23XI Racing’s 2024 NASCAR plans with teammate Tyler Reddick

23XI Racing driver Bubba Wallace is coming off a career-best season in 2023 and is poised to continue the momentum into 2024. With Tyler Reddick entering his second year with the team, Wallace wants to build on their success this year.

Wallace and 23XI Racing, co-owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, took a big step forward in 2023. The #23 Toyota driver showcased improvements across different tracks, contributing to the team's success as both drivers qualified for the playoffs and finished inside the top 10 in the standings.

Tyler Reddick, initially slated to join 23XI Racing in 2024, had a successful debut season with the team after an early start helped him notch up two victories and a deep playoff run in 2023.

Following his first season with teammate Reddick, Bubba Wallace admits that his early arrival has helped the team expedite its long-term plans after a stellar 2023 campaign.

“I think moving forward, with Tyler having a year with us and figuring it all out, I think it’s only going to expedite the process on where we want to be,” Wallace said (via NASCAR.com).

“I think, there’s a lot of races where we were the top performing two as a team, and I think we want to do that more. And so, we’ve got all the right people in the right spot. The new shop’s going to pump some new life into our guys and into ourselves, and we’re gonna go out and work our asses off this year.”

Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick showcased synergy throughout the season, which was evident from Wallace's improved road course performances after working closely with road course ace Reddick.

With a strong driver lineup, a new shop, a new logo, and a new Toyota body style, 23XI Racing is poised for an exciting season ahead. With these changes in the background, the team aims to become a consistent front-runner and eventually a championship contender.
