Five NASCAR Drivers Facing High Stakes in 2025
The 2025 NASCAR season represents a fresh start, filled with new opportunities but also with heightened pressures for several drivers. Here are five Cup Series drivers who must rise to the occasion in 2025.
Bubba Wallace
While 2024 marked Wallace’s best statistical season, the driver of the No. 23 remains in search of the breakthrough that solidifies him as a championship contender. His partnership with 23XI Racing has undoubtedly progressed; however, Wallace hasn’t found Victory Lane since Kansas in September 2022. With teammate Tyler Reddick making the Championship 4 in 2024, the spotlight intensifies on Wallace
Does Bubba Wallace face a “make-or-break” year in 2025 with 23XI Racing, given his lack of wins despite strong statistical performance in 2024 and his teammate’s success in reaching the Championship 4?
“Bubba had a strong 2024 season statistically, but the lack of wins has to be frustrating. Especially when you see your teammate Tyler Reddick make the Championship 4. Do you think Bubba’s seat at 23XI is secure heading into 2025, or is this a make-or-break year for him?” [[1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubba_Wallace)]
