Wallace Reportedly Set to Return to 23XI Racing for 2027 Season

Despite a recent stretch of misfortune on the track, Bubba Wallace is projected to remain behind the wheel of the No. 23 car for the 2027 NASCAR Cup Series season. According to reporting from Fox Corporation, the 23XI Racing driver is expected to continue his partnership with the team, joining teammates Tyler Reddick and Corey Heim.

The current 2026 season has presented challenges for Wallace. While the team has shown competitive speed with Toyota, a series of accidents and unlucky breaks have hampered his results. Wallace currently holds the 13th position in the standings, sitting 69 points above the cutoff for the Chase playoffs. With a significant portion of the calendar remaining, the immediate focus for the No. 23 team is securing a spot in the postseason hunt before eyeing a potential first visit to victory lane.

This stability in the driver lineup comes as the Fox Corporation stock trades up 1.12% today. As the parent company of the Fox Sports network, which holds extensive broadcasting rights for NASCAR coverage, Fox operates within the communication services and entertainment sectors. The network continues to play a central role in delivering motorsports content to audiences, including the reporting that broke Wallace’s retention news.

What to watch

• Wallace’s performance in upcoming races as he attempts to close the gap to the Chase bubble.
• Official confirmation from 23XI Racing regarding the 2027 driver roster.
• Fox Corporation’s future broadcasting deals and content strategy for the NASCAR season.
