Event Info: Saturday, November 5, 2011, ESPN2 12:55PM EST, PRN 12:30PM EST

Return to Racing at Texas… After two weekends off following Charlotte Motor Speedway to close out the month of October, RAB Racing with
Brack Maggard and veteran driver Kenny Wallace will return to racing action this week as the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) runs its second event at Texas Motor Speedway in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge. Fresh off of six consecutive top-20 finishes, Wallace hopes to continue his progress with a solid run in the “Lone Star” State.

Making History… This Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway, Kenny Wallace will make his 520th NASCAR Nationwide Series career-start. After the green flag flies in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge, Wallace will set the record for most NASCAR Nationwide Series starts by any driver and secure a lasting spot in Nationwide Series history. Wallace, who made his 519th start at Charlotte Motor Speedway, tied Jason Keller for most NNS starts. The two drivers have surprisingly similar NNS records, both with an average finishing position of 16.7. Wallace will surpass his friend this weekend and accomplish something he never thought possible. Of the record Wallace says, “When I was a little kid growing up in Arnold, Missouri, if you would have told me that I would be able to race in NASCAR my whole life, I would have considered that wishful thinking and a dream. Therefore; my 520th NASCAR Nationwide start will be a dream come true”.

Keeping Tabs… As we head into the last three races of the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series season, Kenny Wallace has become a fixture in the driver point standings top-10. He has posted an impressive 1 Top-5, 11 Top-10’s and 26 Top-20’s. Wallace holds steady at seventh for the 20th consecutive week and RAB Racing continues to occupy 13th position in the NNS owner standings. RAB Racing with Brack Maggard will celebrate their own milestone in one week at Phoenix International Raceway. The team will make their 100th career start in NASCAR’s Nationwide Series.
