NASCAR: Bubba Wallace's team broke an obscure rule at Michigan

The #23 23XI Racing team of Bubba Wallace broke an obscure rule in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway pertaining to his car number.

And that’s exactly the kind of rule that Bubba Wallace and the #23 23XI Racing team broke in Sunday’s FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway.

According to Rule 7.6.e in the NASCAR Rule Book, “Roof numbers must read from the driver’s side, not the passenger’s side.”

This was not the case on the #23 Toyota in Sunday’s Cup Series race, as you can clearly see below.

Instead of “23”, the top of the #23 Toyota appeared to read “EZ”. No penalty has been announced for this infraction.
