DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA - FEBRUARY 16: Bubba Wallace, driver of the #23 McDonald's Toyota, speaks to the media during the NASCAR Cup Series 64th Annual Daytona 500 Media Day at Daytona International Speedway on February 16, 2022 in Daytona Beach, Florida.

The 23XI Racing Team driver had a big start to the 2022 season, finishing in second place in the Daytona 500.
Wallace was somewhat heartbroken by the finish, as he came so close to winning, but a second place mark is still something to build on.
On Sunday, Wallace is set to compete in the Auto Club 400 in California. Qualifying did not go very well for Wallace, as he spun out in practice.
Wallace will start in the No. 34 place on Sunday afternoon. He doesn’t seem to be too phased by it, though.
“Be a goldfish,” he tweeted.
