Wallace has now led a total of 373 laps in 285 superspeedway starts in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.

Wallace posted a 21st-place finish and UNOFFICIALLY is 14th in the series championship standings.

Mike Bliss leads Wallace by two races (6-4) in the overall WIX Filters Lap Leader standings.

WALLACE QUOTES: “I thought it was real respectable for our team. We work hard and we overachieve. We’ve just got to be a little bit faster. The car handled really good, just needed more speed. Needed a little bit of luck there. I pitted and then the caution comes out. When you’re in our position you try to keep the car packed with fuel and two laps later the caution flag fell. We got what we earned.” YOU ARE WITH A SMALL TEAM. HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO COMPETE AT A HIGH DOWNFORCE TRACK LIKE LOWE’S MOTOR SPEEDWAY? “What we need is about 500,000 more dollars for a little more horsepower. We can make the horsepower we just don’t have the money to make the horsepower. That’s really just what this deal is lacking to give us 10 positions. Over the last month Tony Raines has really been picking up some speed. That’s all we need.”
