Event Info: Saturday, March 5, 2011, ABC, 3:00PM EST, 2:30PM PRN EST

Las Vegas Odds… With over a decade’s worth of experience competing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, veteran driver Kenny Wallace will go all in this weekend in the Sam’s Town 300 as he contends for his first win of the 2011 season with RAB Racing and to be the first Toyota driver to score a Nationwide Series victory at the 1.5-mile oval track. Coupled with Wallace’s experience, RAB Racing brings an additional strength to the table in Crew Chief Scott Zipadelli who has over 20 years of experience working the NASCAR’s top two-divisions. Fresh off a successful weekend in Phoenix, Wallace and RAB Racing will be joined in Las Vegas by a new primary race sponsor, Federated Auto Parts.

Keeping tabs… Kenny Wallace earned his best finish of the 2011 NNS season last Saturday at Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) in the BASHAS’ SUPERMARKETS 200. Starting from the 18th position, Wallace and the RAB Racing team led by Zipadelli, successfully navigated the one-mile track for 200 laps to score their first top-10 finish of the season. Wallace’s career-best tenth place finish at PIR boosted him to ninth in the overall NNS driver point’s standings. The No. 09 Family Farmers Toyota Camry also improved to 15th in the 2011 NNS owner point’s standings.
Las Vegas details…

· Wallace, 47, has 16 combined starts at LVMS in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series.

· In 2002, Wallace recorded his career-best NNS finish of eighth at LVMS. Wallace will make his ninth career-start at Las Vegas on Saturday for RAB Racing.
