The stock car community is in the midst of chaos over the anti-trust lawsuit filed against the sanctioning body by 23XI Racing and Front Raw Motorsports. Uncertainty over the team’s future and the outside noise is a huge distraction to the team. But according 23XI Racing star driver Bubba Wallace, it isn’t affecting him.

Teams have found themselves in the backfoot after rival Cup teams filed affidavits supporting the charter system, ahead of the crucial Roval race where both Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick are facing elimination from R-12. The No:23 Toyota Camry driver was asked whether the drama is affecting him and his performance.

The 2025 Brickyard 500 winner admitted that it would be naïve of him to claim that he and that team doesn’t talk about the lawsuit, as well as the potential trial that will start on December 1st. At the end of the day, the final verdict of the lawsuit will determine the career of Wallace as well as all other employees of the team.

I don’t want to say naive to the fact, but we don’t go there and talk about December 1st. It is our jobs; it is our livelihoods to give it everything we’ve got for the race that is ahead of us.

Bubba Wallace said via Cup Scene.

Furthermore, he declared that he doesn’t care much about the while drama and isn’t bother by it. His primary focus is to win the championship, as well as win more races for his team. From day one of the season they have been working hard to make sure they are contenders every week and he expects to do the same till the end of the campaign.  

That sounds like a very cliché answer, but I could care less. I’ve got five races left to go out and fight for a championship, and I set that tone from the beginning of the year. We’ve got to work out tails off to make it count each and every week.

With everything going on in the background, I’ve encouraged my guys to stay focused on that – so I can’t answer your question and give you any insight to that, nor would if it was the case, but I genuinely don’t feel that.

Bubba Wallace said.

He then admitted that it he would like for his team to be in a good mood once the verdict comes in on the trial. At the moment, his focus in the Charette Roval and give his everything to get over the line, make it into the R-8.   

Now if Sunday was December 1st – mood was pretty down, and I hate that for my team, but it is a new weekend. Fresh opportunity in front of us. It is time to go focus on that.

Bubba Wallace added.

The No:23 TRD team had a good qualifying, that saw them secure a raw six start for Sunday while his teammate Tyler Reddick got the better of Shane van Gisbergen to secure the pole. It would be interesting to see how they will perform on Sunday under the immense pressure.
