Before Darrell Wallace Jr. goes for his second consecutive NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win in the UNOH 225 at Kentucky Speedway, he announced he’ll run the #20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway next Friday night. The race, his second of the season and sixth career Nationwide start, could be a step toward a full-time ride in the series in 2015, Wallace Jr. told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio on Thursday morning. ‘Next year, we’re talking about full-time Nationwide, and that’d be great,’ Wallace Jr. said. ‘If not, maybe another year in the Truck Series. But the next two to three years, definitely full-time in Nationwide. Maybe getting a start in Cup, but Kentucky’s on my mind and we’re ready to roll.’ The NASCAR Drive for Diversity graduate said that his #20 ride at Daytona will be sponsored by Coca-Cola and kick off the company’s ‘Share a Coke’ campaign. Wallace Jr. hinted that Coke might be a sponsor of his Nationwide ride in 2015. ‘If we can get that deal signed of being full-time Nationwide, you never know, we could be sharing a Coke at the end,’ Wallace Jr. said.(NASCAR.com)(6-26-2014)
