Wallace raced to the front after final stage pit stops and opened up a five-second lead over the field as the laps dwindled. With five laps remaining, canaries billowed as rain descended upon the track. Yellow turned to red, putting a Wallace victory in doubt.
Alas, two strong restarts brought him to the checkered flag. As he crossed the plane, one of racing’s more infamous winless streaks turned to ashes. Wallace went 100 races without a win prior to his journey to the Brickyard. Not anymore, though.

Has Bubba Wallace ever won a NASCAR race?
Wallace’s shining display at Indianapolis isn’t his first NASCAR win. He has nine victories under the NASCAR banner, three of which have come in the Cup Series.
Wallace first topped a Cup Series race at Talladega, downing all foes in the rain-shortened 2021 YellaWood 500. With his win, he became the first African-American driver to win a top-flight race since Wendell Scott in 1963.
In 2022, Wallace added another victory to his collection, racing to gold at Kansas at the Hollywood Casino 400. Wallace was sporting Kurt Busch’s No. 45 at the time, replacing the one-time Cup Series champion after he suffered a concussion earlier in the season.
Now, he has a trifecta. It came in the most dramatic of circumstances.
