Four and Going for More… RAB Racing with Brack Maggard is having a hot streak stretching across the month of July. With veteran driver Kenny Wallace behind the wheel of the No. 09 Federated Auto Parts Toyota Camry, the team has collected four top-10 finishes in the last four NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) events. Traveling to Indianapolis this weekend for Saturday night’s 30th Annual Kroger 200 at Lucas Oil Raceway, RAB Racing and Wallace will be hunting for their first top-five of the year, a top-five they hope will take them to victory lane.

Keeping Tabs… Nashville Superspeedway proved to be a “super” track for RAB Racing in 2011. Notching off a fourth consecutive top-10 and backing up a strong 12th-place performance in the spring Nashville race, Wallace is showing how his experience and abilities are helping to build momentum for the young RAB Racing team. Led by crew chief Scott Zipadelli, the No. 09 Toyota Camry has accumulated a total of nine top-10 finishes in only the first 20 NNS events this season. With 14 events remaining on the 2011 schedule, Wallace looks to improve his current position of seventh in the NNS driver point standings and land a spot among the top five drivers. Steadily improving each year since joining the Nationwide Series full-time in 2009, the No. 09 remains 13th in the NNS owner point standings.

Lucas Oil Raceway Details…

· In 13 starts at the little track by the cornfield in Indianapolis, Wallace has an average start of 12.2 and an average finish of 14.9.

· With one top-five finish, four top-10’s, and one pole award in 2001, Wallace looks to add to his accomplishments at the .686-miles oval track this weekend.

· Wallace earned his best-finish of fifth at Lucas Oil Raceway in 2002.

· RAB Racing has competed at the Indiana track once with driver Kevin Hamlin in 2010.
