Bubba Wallace overcame NASCAR rival Kyle Larson, a dwindling fuel tank, and an intense double overtime finish a score an exciting victory in Sunday’s Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Wallace edged defending Brickyard 400 champion Kyle Larson by .222 of a second or about three car lengths to snap a 100-race NASCAR Cup Series winless streak dating back to the fall of 2022 and punch his ticket into 2025 NASCAR Cup playoffs in the process.
