Mike Wallace will reach a major milestone in his NASCAR career at Friday
night’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, making his
750th NASCAR start in the No. 01 HELPJD01.com Chevrolet.
Wallace’s 750 NASCAR national series starts are spread out across the
NASCAR Sprint Cup (190 starts), Nationwide (445) and Camping World Truck (115) series.
He has five career Camping World Truck Series victories and four in Nationwide
competition, and is currently 12th in the 2012 Nationwide
championship standings.
So far this year, he has completed 4,770 of 5,028 laps (94.9
percent), and has Top-20 finishes in nine of the last 12 races. In 32 career
starts at Charlotte Motor Speedway, he has three top-10 finishes with a best
finish of 10th in 1996. He finished 15th in the
Nationwide Series’ last outing at Charlotte in May.
He's a journeyman. He's always been a great spokesman for his sponsors, and his teams. It's always heartfelt when he talks about getting money to run, barely getting to the track sometimes, then showing up and putting on a hell of a show. He's a class act. Old School.
ReplyDeleteI have always enjoyed watching him race when he's got a good piece under him. Anytime he gets a chance to run up front, it always seems like he makes everyone work a little harder, giving us a better race to watch.
Congrats to you Mike.
Whatever happened to Chrissy? Does anyone know if she's racing anything right now?
