The team is looking forward to having Wallace back in the car next week in Daytona for the Pepsi 400 and continuing the season long goal of moving up in the points race.

AND GIVE US THE UPDATE ON THE DRIVER SITUATION FOR THIS WEEKEND IN THE #4 LUCAS OIL CHEVY:
[Mike Wallace:] “They made a decision this morning. P.J. is going to race the car. I don’t understand any of it. It caught me pretty much off guard. We race hard to get ourselves inside the top 35 and we’re in the 35th spot. I guess management feels that P.J. can do a better job than me here.”(GM Racing PR)(6-26-2005)
