Bubba Wallace is having a tough Sunday.
The 23XI Racing driver is battling in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs on Sunday afternoon. However, things are not going well. Wallace, who qualified for the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs, had contact with himself and fellow driver Brad Keselowski. Things did not go well for Wallace.
Wallace ended up being the loser of the contact, as he dropped all the way down to P28, during the Cup Series race, the USA TODAY 301, in New Hampshire.
As Wallace struggled on Sunday afternoon, his team sent him a clear message of encouragement, amid the tough performance.
Wallace was told: "I know it's miserable. Just keep doing the best you can with it for me here."

Wallace was not happy with his car
The veteran 23XI Racing driver was not happy with the state of his car during Sunday afternoon's Cup Series race. He was blunt when talking about the state of his No. 23 Toyota on Sunday.
"Bubba Wallace calling for major changes to his car, wants them to take a swing at it even if he comes off pit road in last place," Jeff Gluck shared on X.

Wallace, meanwhile, tried to have a simple mindset heading into the latest round of the NASCAR Playoffs.
“Don't let the highs get too high, lows get too low, just go out and lap by lap, make the right moves, let the little stuff go to to focus on the big stuff there," he told reporters.
