Bubba Wallace to start at back of Daytona 500 field after No. 23 car fails inspection twice

Bubba Wallace's car failed inspection twice for the Daytona 500 and will have to start at the back of the field.

Greg Emmer, the car chief for 23XI Racing, was ejected as punishment. The No. 23 Toyota passed inspection on the third time.

Wallace drives a new entry owned by NBA great Michael Jordan and three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin. He had been slated to start "The Great American Race'' in the third row. Instead, Wallace will be one of 10 drivers who have to drop to the back of the pack during pace laps.
