Then on Tuesday, Richard Petty and Drew Blickensderfer, regular Hub analyst and Bubba Wallace’s crew chief, joined the gang to share their thoughts on their driver’s monumental second-place finish. Below are quotes from the episodes: How do you continue to capitalize on what is Bubba Wallace but also let him have his space? “It’s tough. Now that Daytona is over, we have to let Bubba be Bubba, and that means Monday through Thursday, he needs to be focused on the next race track. He did his job leading up. He had cameras in his face the entire time. He didn’t really ask for it. It came along with it and he handled it perfectly. Atlanta, Vegas, Phoenix – those aren’t Daytona. So, he has to be focused on the next race track. We gave him the last few days off. He has been home, kind of hanging out. Tomorrow (Wednesday) he’ll come to the shop and we’ll work on Atlanta and we’ll get rolling on our season.” --Drew Blickensderfer How has having Bubba Wallace as a part of Richard Petty Motorsports given you a new excitement or outlook on the sport? “It really has.
