Steve Wallace guaranteed a spot in Daytona 500? UPDATE 2: #77 Penske Racing team owner Roger Penske verified that the #77 car’s [owners points, was 30th in 2010] points will be used by Stephen Wallace, who is attempting to make his Cup debut at Daytona. Wallace, 23, currently drives the #66 Toyota for his father at Rusty Wallace Racing [in the Nationwide Series].(in part from FoxSports), so Wallace is guaranteed making the Daytona 500.(1-15-2011)
UPDATE: Rusty Wallace is working on putting a Daytona 500 ride together for his son, Steve, but does not have the deal completed, according to Greg Wallace, Rusty’s oldest son. If the deal gets done, Wallace, 23, possibly could get the owner points of the Penske Racing #77 car from 2010, which would lock him in the field for his Cup debut. “In the past, Rusty has expressed a well-known interest in having Steve compete in this year’s Daytona 500, either with RWR or an established Cup team,” said Greg, who is vice president of Rusty Wallace Racing. “Various opportunities have arisen for that to happen, but as of now, nothing has been completed.”(Sporting News)(1-18-2011)
