Wallace, the 26 year-old son of NASCAR Hall of Famer, Rusty Wallace, will take the wheel of the #97 Adrian Carriers/Liz Girl Logistics Chevrolet for the first time this Saturday in the American Ethanol 200 at Iowa Speedway.
The younger Wallace has raced in all three of NASCAR's National Series,
including a top-20 finish in his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series debut at the 2011
Daytona 500. He finished among the top-ten in NASCAR Nationwide Series points
from 2009-2011 and won the inaugural ARCA event at Iowa in 2006.
"We are very excited about having an experienced driver like Steve
Wallace join the Adrian Racing team. He's a hands on driver, coming in from
North Carolina to Quad Cities to install his own seat and help prepare the
truck over the 4th of July holiday. That really impressed me," said team
owner Gary Adrian.
"I'm really grateful for the opportunity this Adrian
Carriers team has given me," said Wallace. "I had a lot of fun in the handful of Truck races I
drove before and Iowa Speedway is one of my very best tracks. I'm looking
forward to having a good run with the Adrian Carriers group this weekend."
good luck steve
ReplyDeleteNot a worthy driver. He is more crash n dash.
ReplyDeletehopefully this is just a rental deal so Adrian Carriers can put a real driver, Jeff Choqquette back in the truck.
ReplyDeletetwo thumbs down.
I have a feeling they will regret this as they will probably need to replace that truck after the race. His Father had to go under with so many wrecked cars.
