From Kenny Wallace’s Frontstretch diary: “I drove a farm combine in Illinois. I’m also getting ready to announce my sponsor for St. Louis. I’ve got to keep it under wraps, but just a little hint: it all ties together. So the combine that I drove will match up with my sponsor that I’ll have in St. Louis. I won’t say how, but we’ll be getting ready to announce that in another week or so.”(Frontstretch)(10-1-2010)
UPDATE: NASCAR driver Kenny Wallace and officials of the Illinois Corn Marketing Board (ICMB) announced a promotional partnership in which Illinois corn farmers will share the story of their families and their crop at the October 23, 2010 5-Hour Energy 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Gateway International Raceway in Madison, IL. The event will likely be the final NASCAR race at the St. Louis-area track, which was recently forced to decline 2011 NASCAR sanctions. For Wallace, one of St. Louis favorite sons, the partnership with Illinois corn farmers provides a bright spot in the weekends events.(Kenny Wallace PR)(10-15-2010)
