Defending the Title… RAB Racing with Brack Maggard will head to Montreal this weekend to defend their title at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. One year ago, the young team with driver Boris Said fought side-by-side with Max Papis to clinch their first victory. RAB Racing’s affinity for this track, combined with the lessons learned following last weekend’s Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen, give the team confidence that the No. 09 can find its way to Victory Lane here again.
Keeping Tabs… As we continue on the downward slope of the season, RAB Racing and Kenny Wallace are looking to redeem themselves in the NAPA Auto Parts 200 this weekend. Though the team struggled through The Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen finishing a dismal 32nd, their position in NASCAR Nationwide Series standings didn’t waver. Wallace remains at 7th in the driver points standings, while the No. 09 holds steady at 13th in the owner points standings. Wallace is first in NNS laps completed this season with 4,106 (99.11%) and the team has racked up a lofty 10 top-10’s this season. Maintaining this rhythm, Wallace heads to Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve this weekend for the first time with RAB Racing.
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve Details…
