Kenny Wallace on Richmond International Raceway …
“I really like going to Richmond. It is one of my favorite tracks on the circuit. I have won there three times and started on the front row twice. It is a driver’s racetrack. You have to be up on the wheel all night in order to have a good finish. It is not all about aero or the motor but more about the driver and experience.
“My team has been working so hard to get the Stacker 2 car up front, and I think all their hard work will pay off this weekend. I am looking forward to keeping the No. 23 Stacker 2 car up front all night.”

Get to Know Jack…
One-year-old Jack Sable suffers from a chromosome disorder that affects many people in the United States. When Stacker 2 heard about Jack and his condition, it took the family under its wing. For every lap Wallace and the Stacker 2/YJ Stinger team completes this year, NVE, the parent company of Stacker 2, will donate $1 to the Sable family to help pay for Jack’s medical costs. So far this season, Wallace and the Stacker 2/YJ Stinger team have earned $1,754 for the cause.
“I intend on completing every lap I can for Jack Sable and the Sable family,” Wallace said. “At the end of the year I would like nothing more than to have Jack and his family at our table at the banquet.”
