QUOTE WORTHY
Wallace on racing at Las Vegas:
“Vegas is a pretty cool track to race on. We had a good run going here last year before we got caught up in a wreck. We had a solid run last week in Atlanta where we showed a lot of character and that this is a group that will never give up. I’m ready to get back on the track this weekend and have another good run with our Leidos Mustang.”
