The crash prevented the No:23 Toyota from having a chance to win the race. Bubba Wallace (Via IMAGO) The NASCAR Cup race at Talladega was a major letdown for 23XI Racing and he was unable to finish due to the crash involving all Toyota cars. What makes it even more disappointing is that his teammate emerged as the winner. Alongside the No:23 Camry, three additional Toyota vehicles were involved in the incident. In lap 156 of the race, the Toyota teams were running in a single file after pitting together as part of their strategy. Approaching turn 3 on the same lap, the loss of balance and the aggressive push by resulted in a massive wreck. Jones, Wallace, and the No:11 Camry of were caught up in the incident. A caution was issued on Lap 157 for this incident in Turn 3. pic.twitter.com/t1I5uEen0L The former Talladega race winner spoke to the media about the crash after being released from the infield car center. He admitted that they are disappointed with the poor execution and do not want to be involved in someone else’s mess. Wallace pointed out that the incident reflects poorly on Toyota and expressed his determination to bounce back from it at Dover. No, it’s just that we were all pushing really hard to maintain our line. We had a plan but we did not execute it as well as we should have. I feel bad for our Leidos team. We look forward to racing at these places and then we end up being caught in someone else’s mess. I hate it. It doesn’t present us in a good light at all. But overall, we will reset and go to Dover. We still have a long way to go. We’re fine, just frustrated. Bubba Wallace said. Jones acknowledged that he hates what happened to him and the crew at Dega, as they were sent into the walls after contact with Wallace. He promised to keep moving forward despite the devastating crash and is determined to make a comeback next week. I lost control and got sideways while entering [Turn] 3, and I tried to regain control but ended up hitting the wall really hard. It’s unfortunate. I feel bad for my team and my guys. Obviously, I wanted to have a good run but I’m okay. That’s a positive thing. It was a tough hit. At the end of the day, if you’re going to be foolish, you have to be resilient, so we’ll keep pushing forward. Erik Jones said. Erik Jones and Bubba Wallace are heading back home feeling unhappy and frustrated. However, they have no time to waste and should focus on the race at Dover next week.
