Rumble in Richmond… This week, RAB Racing with Brack Maggard and Kenny Wallace will cross the Virginia state line en route to Richmond International Raceway (RIR) to compete in the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) College Savings 250 on Friday night. Making its second appearance in 2011 on the NNS circuit, Wallace and RAB Racing are confident in their abilities at RIR. Earlier this season, Wallace qualified seventh and ran in the Top 5 at this track for the majority of the night. Though a late race penalty cost them a top finishing position, the team heads to Virginia self-assured.

Keeping Tabs… As we venture further into the second half of the 2011 NNS schedule, Kenny Wallace has become a fixture in the driver point standings top-10. He has posted an impressive 10 Top-10’s and 21 Top 20’s and, in only 5 more races, will hold the title of most NNS starts. Wallace holds steady at seventh for the 17th consecutive week and Robby Benton continues to occupy 13th position in the NNS owner standings.
