Frontstretch Quotes

An Interview with:

Q. You had a smile on your face when you and I chatted this morning, but what were the nerves like before that second overtime because there was a real debate over whether you needed to pit or not?

BUBBA WALLACE: I'm wore out. I thought about every which way to Sunday besides driving a race car, having that red flag. Oh, my gosh, man. Just so proud of this team.

That adrenaline rush is crazy because I'm coming off that right now, and I'm wore out.

I just want to thank everybody behind me right here, all these guys, all these men and women at Airspeed for making this possible.

I don't see my wife and my kid, but welcome to Victory Lane, Becks. It's pretty cool -- officially. Daytona was Daytona, but to overcome so much and to put these people here in Victory Lane, that's what it's about. It's about these people that continue to push at me, believe in me. Man, just so proud, and I appreciate all you guys.

Q. What does this moment mean to have the family here and to celebrate now as an Indianapolis winner?

BUBBA WALLACE: Unbelievable. To win here at the Brickyard, knowing how big this race is, knowing all the noise that's going on in the background, to set that all aside is a testament to these people here on this 23 team. It's been getting old right around the cut line.

Q. You have a lot of detractors to your career, Bubba. What would you say to those folks right now?

BUBBA WALLACE: It don't matter. I'm already winning at life. I've got the best wife, the best kid. People are always going to say something. I am excited to see how far the goal post has moved. I get to go to chase that now. How many days since my last win?

Q. 100 since his last win.

BUBBA WALLACE: Zero.

Q. Now it's zero for Bubba Wallace. He wins the Brickyard 400. Welcome to the playoffs as well for the 23 team.
