Joe Gibbs Racing is
expected to announce Saturday that Darrell Wallace, Jr., will run the full
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series schedule in 2013, in a Toyota Tundra fielded
by Kyle Busch Motorsports.
Wallace, a Joe Gibbs
Racing developmental driver, will be reportedly announced as KBM’s latest Truck
Series driver on Saturday at 10:15 AM, as part of NASCAR Preview 2013 at the
Charlotte Convention Center. The team has not commented on the specifics of the
announcement, but issued a statement today confirming that Wallace, JGR owner
Joe Gibbs and NASCAR President Mike Helton will be present at the announcement,
with team president J.D. Gibbs and Wallace meeting with the media afterward.
Wallace finished seventh in
points on the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East last season, with one win, six Top-5
and seven Top-10 finishes in 14 starts, driving for JGR.
How very cool is that? So happy that this young gun is getting a platform. Shine on young Darrell! Wow!
