QUOTE WORTHY
Wallace on racing at Dover:
“Dover is by far my favorite track on the schedule. I love racing here. We’ve had a lot of success here in the past and it’s a place that I just have had a ton of fun racing at. We also have a new partner in Leidos on the car this weekend which adds some extra incentive to go out there and get it done. Plus, we’ve got this race as the second race in the Chase so we need to be sure to have a good solid run to keep us safe and get us to the next round.”
