Caution During Late Race Pit Stop Relegates Kenny Wallace To 16th At Dover International Speedway
Press ReleaseBack after an off-weekend, driver Kenny Wallace piloted the No. 09 Federated Auto Parts Toyota Camry to a solid 8th place position on the speed charts in final NASCAR Nationwide Series practice. Wallace’s speed was reaffirmed in qualifying when he posted the 10th fastest qualifying effort.
After the green flag flew over the “Monster Mile”, Wallace brought the car to pit road for a few adjustments. Re-emerging in 18th position, Wallace powered the No. 09 Toyota Camry through the field to 14th by midrace, running laps comparable to the top five at that time.
Unfortunately, the caution flag flew during a routine green-flag pit stop on Lap 156 putting the No. 09 a lap down with 40 laps to go. Wallace returned to the racetrack in the 16th position with three cars in front of him also down a lap. The race concluded caution-free, providing no opportunity for Wallace to gain his lap back. The No. 09 finished in the 16th position.
With only five events remaining on the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule, Wallace heads to Kansas solidly inside the top-10 in the NNS driver point standings in seventh position. The No. 09 holds steady at 13th in the NNS owner point standings.
Wallace and RAB Racing will join the NASCAR Nationwide Series next at Kansas Speedway on Saturday, October 8th, to tough it out over 300 miles in the Kansas Lottery 200. Live coverage begins at 3:30PM EST on ESPN 2 and 3:00PM ET on MRN.
