The fans have spoken… This weekend, veteran driver Kenny Wallace will pilot the No. 09 “Thank You Fans” Toyota Camry in the Dollar General 300 Miles of Courage at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Die-hard “Hermanator” fans supported him by pledging $20 to see their name on the RAB Racing machine. Fans will get up close and personal with the fan car tomorrow night as the Kenny Wallace Fan Club hosts an exclusive event at RAB Racing for the people who put their name on the car. Supporters will get to participate in a meet-and-greet with Wallace and see the newly-wrapped car! In addition to fan support, the University of Northwestern Ohio will be featured on the hood for the memorable event. For more information, please visit www.kennywallace.com
Time to “Dash 4 Cash”… Not only did Kenny Wallace post his first top five in three years in the Virginia 529 College Savings 250 at Richmond International Raceway, but he qualified for the final Nationwide Insurance Dash 4 Cash contest. This weekend, Wallace along with three other NNS drivers will compete for $100,000! The highest finisher in the Dollar General 300 Miles of Courage will win. Fans can play along at NASCAR.com.
Counting down… On Saturday, November 5th 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. Wallace, who will make his 519th start this Friday at Charlotte Motor Speedway, will tie Jason Keller for most NNS starts and soon secure a lasting spot in Nationwide Series history. The two drivers have surprisingly similar NNS records, both with an average finishing position of 16.7.
