The starting grid is set for the NASCAR Cup regular season finale at Darlington Raceway, and things are looking up for Bubba Wallace.
It was a dramatic qualifying session for the 2024 Southern 500, which marks the end of the regular season. Wallace, who entered this race 21 points below the cut-line, rocketed to the top of the charts in his first pole of the 2024 season. He will be joined on the front row by Carson Hocevar in a wildly impressive showing by the Spire Motorsports rookie. Wallace made his way into the final round with a dramatic lap in Group A, bouncing off the wall twice and going fastest of all drivers.
Just been executing and firing off on all cylinders. That's what it takes. I wanted it to be a great weekend and you got to start on Saturdays. We did that.' Wallace was notably upset following Daytona calling his playoff position 'unacceptable' when his teammate Tyler Reddick is on the verge of winning the regular season title. 'I'm a very emotional guy,' he added in his pole-winning interview.
