Feel bad for Mike, but I think the decision might be different if he raced Xfinity or Trucks last year.

This is what Mike Wallace posted on Facebook about NASCAR decision not to approve him to run the Daytona 500. He could get approved for 2026. pic.twitter.com/arKD6ZuZ8z

Just a few weeks away

Feel bad for him too but I'm actually OK with the decision. We don't need F1 style points for a license, but not having driven on anything bigger than a short track since 2015 is a long time.
