Bubba Wallace is racing for a championship despite sitting 19th in the points standings.
advanced 23XI Racing's No. 45 car to the second round of the owner's championship. Even though Wallace isn't one of the 16 drivers racing for the 2022 driver title, the No. 45 car is part of the lesser-known owner's points championship.
But Busch crashed during qualifying at Pocono in July and suffered a concussion. He’s been out of the car ever since. NASCAR granted Busch a waiver to retain his playoff eligibility but Busch withdrew from playoff consideration ahead of the final regular-season race of the season since he wasn’t sure when he’d be able to return to the car.
This is where Wallace comes in. He’s been the driver of the No. 23 car since he became the inaugural driver for the team co-owned by Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan in 2021. But with Gibbs set to replace Busch indefinitely, the team wanted a better chance to race for the owner’s title with the No. 45. So they swapped the cars for Gibbs and Wallace.
