Bubba Wallace on racing at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course
“Using what I learned at Watkins Glen, I’m looking forward to being right where we need to be when we unload. I will have to practice patience and get a good rhythm down to maximize on forward drive. I am ready to make my first laps at Mid-Ohio.”
