Wallace expected to move to Xfinity next season:

Darrell Wallace, Jr. won his fourth race of the season and fifth of his career in his final ride in the #54 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota, as the organization picked up its 14th victory in 22 races. Signed to Joe Gibbs Racing, Wallace is expected to move up to the NASCAR Nationwide Series next year. ‘It is going to be sad to see him go,’ Busch said, ‘but we’ve got another great shoe that’s going to be able to fit into that role really, really good with Erik Jones. It’s not that I’m saying good-bye, but I’m wishing him the best next year in what he gets to do, and I’m excited about his growth and opportunity to move up to the Nationwide Series.’ Wallace said he hopes to get plans for 2015 settled soon. ‘I wish things were finalized,’ Wallace said. ‘We’re continuing to work hard to find my future plans. For me, I’m just going to go play some golf while I’m down here in Miami and enjoy this win, enjoy the offseason. But as far as plans, we’re continuing to work hard.’(NASCAR Wire Service)(11-15-2014)
