QUOTE WORTHY
Wallace on racing at Kentucky:
“I’m really looking forward to getting back to Kentucky. We scored a top-five there in July and I’m confident we can back that up this weekend with our Bleacher Report Mustang. We need to get all we can with the Chase kicking off this weekend and make sure we are in a good position come the end of the race.”
