Kenny Wallace to drive #24 at Indy: Veteran NASCAR driver and SPEED TV personality Kenny Wallace, who finished fourth in Sunday’s STP 300 Nationwide Series race at Chicagoland Speedway, announced a few hours later on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio’s ‘The Backstretchâ with Jerry Bonkowski that he will indeed race in the historic first-ever Nationwide Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday, July 28. ‘I drive for RAB Racing, about 11 races this year’ Wallace said. ‘NASCAR, everybody got involved â I have the most starts in the history of the series and they thought it was a crime that I wasn’t going to be in the race. ‘Luckily, Family Farmers, American Ethanol and the National Corn Growers Association, they came up with quite a bit of money four days ago ⦠and I’m going to drive the #24 Nationwide car. We just did the deal right before qualifying (today). ‘My team is going to be behind me, it’s going to be a Toyota with a Triad motor, but the 24 team â Benny Gordon usually drives the car â we put the deal together, Farmers are going to have their name on it, they said it was a crime that I had the most starts in the history (of the Nationwide Series) and for me not to be in the first-ever Nationwide race at Indy.â(PR)
AND Wallace announced on MRN following the race that he will drive the #22 for Penske Racing in at least one race this season.(7-22-2012)
