Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace faced pit problems during the race in Las Vegas. Both drivers’ teams have experienced numerous disappointments in the past due to errors from their pit crews. Unfortunately, the recent incident in Vegas suggests that significant improvements have not been made to address these issues.
Reddick was in contention for the win in the race, battling against a dominant driver. However, a setback during a pit stop proved to be detrimental to his chances. As a result, he finished the race 0.4 seconds behind the Chevy leader. Larson’s impressive defensive performance played a crucial role in securing the victory for his team.
After the race, Reddick expressed his frustration regarding the recurring pit stop issues that have cost him potential wins. It is particularly disheartening for him to finish in second place, knowing that these issues continue to hinder his success. He hopes that these problems do not persist for the rest of the year.
In another unfortunate turn of events, Bubba Wallace also had a frustrating day in the race. Despite starting in a promising position and achieving consecutive top-5 finishes, his race was hampered by a car issue during the second stage. This forced him to pit and resulted in the loss of several laps. The team faced additional challenges when a wheel nut got stuck, requiring an extended period to resolve.
Looking ahead to the next weekend, both drivers are hopeful that their respective teams will perform well and maintain composure. Although 23XI Racing has shown its ability to provide competitive cars, their ongoing weakness lies in the efficiency of their pit crews.
