Now, he has revealed which one scared him the most.&#13;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe 31-year-old made his full-time Cup Series debut in 2018 with Richard Petty Motorsports, and it was during his rookie campaign that Wallace experienced his scariest wreck at Pocono Raceway.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nOn that occasion, Wallace suffered a major brake issue in the No. 43 Chevrolet, making big contact with the barriers at high speed on the outside of the track as a result.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nThankfully, Wallace was able to walk away from the crash of his own accord and relatively unscathed, but during the incident, he clearly feared it could have been far worse.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>NASCAR HEADLINES:<\/b> <a title=\"Hamlin addresses 23XI lawsuit distraction as driver set to miss multiple races\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gpfans.com\/us\/f1-news\/1060162\/nascar-today-denny-hamlin-addresses-23xi-lawsuit-distraction-driver-miss-multiple-races\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hamlin addresses 23XI lawsuit distraction as driver set to miss multiple races<\/a>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>2018 Pocono wreck the scariest<\/p>\n<p>\nSpeaking on the <a title=\"Casuals podcast with Katie Nolan\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNqcQSCx25I\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Casuals podcast with Katie Nolan<\/a>, Wallace reflected on a wide range of topics, including the most hurt he&#8217;d been from a wreck. One immediately sprang to mind for the 31-year-old.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSo my brakes blew out. You want to talk about scary stuff,\u201d Wallace explained. &#8220;2018. Pocono. Rookie year. Brakes explode. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I turned left to cut through the grass because there\u2019s something in your mind that says \u2018I can make it to the back stretch\u2019. [But] you have to slow down to actually get the car to turn. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;When I turned left, I was going straight for the wall. So that was actually the most scared I\u2019ve ever been in the car.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAt the last second, the car repositioned itself, and I was like \u2018oh! Thank god! This is just going to hurt now\u2019. Boom! Hit the wall.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAnd so I broke the gas pedal or clutch pedal in half with my foot, and I bit my cheek, so I had a sore foot for a couple of days.\u201d&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>READ MORE:<\/b> <a title=\"Michael Jordan delivers passionate speech as NASCAR legal battle turns ugly\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gpfans.com\/us\/f1-news\/1060175\/nascar-2025-michael-jordan-lawsuit-23xi-racing-front-row-motorsports-speech-legal-battle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michael Jordan delivers passionate speech as NASCAR legal battle turns ugly<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>                                        <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; Change your timezone:&#13; &#13; &#13; Like most NASCAR drivers, 23XI Racing star Bubba Wallace has been involved&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":185142,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[24384,22019,1463,1461,1462,1406,1459,50,14093,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-185141","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nascar","8":"tag-23xi-racing","9":"tag-bubba-wallace","10":"tag-f1","11":"tag-formula-1","12":"tag-gpfans","13":"tag-nascar","14":"tag-nascar-cup-series","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-sheona-mountford","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115113257511887651","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185141\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/185142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
