[autotag]Bubba Wallace[/autotag] didn’t make the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, but it doesn’t mean he’s done racing until next season. Wallace is looking to enter Victory Lane for the first time since 2022 and be a playoff spoiler. However, the driver of the No. 23 car may not be able to put his full focus on that effort as 23XI Racing’s future in NASCAR is questionable.
23XI Racing could be at risk of losing its charters after rejecting NASCAR’s latest charter proposal. Wallace spoke about the progress of NASCAR’s charter negotiations as it relates to his future with 23XI Racing and his ability to sign a new contract.
“I know my process has been kind of going hand in hand with the charter agreements,” Wallace said. “It’s frustrating to see where we’re at because that impacts my life, my livelihood, and everything moving forward for my future.”
Wallace is expected to re-sign with 23XI Racing; however, Denny Hamlin admitted that anything in the future is dependent on a new charter deal, which the NASCAR team hasn’t signed. There is time for NASCAR and 23XI Racing, but in the meantime, Wallace is waiting for the process to hopefully shake out well so he can sign his own contract.
