KENNY WALLACE ON THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO MMP:
“The events leading up to the Memphis race are a lot of fun and I was really excited when NASCAR and MMP asked us to participate in the “Burnout out on Beale St.” again. There is a great vibe and the fan support is incredible. With AutoZone headquarters so close by, I’d expect to see a lot of the “AutoZoner’s” out in full force cheering on the No. 22 AutoZone car and myself.”
KENNY WALLACE ON MMP:
“The Memphis race is a very special race because our sponsor, AutoZone, is headquartered not too far from the race track. It’s the one time of the year that we have the “hometown” advantage and get to put on a show in front of all of the “AutoZoner’s”. We are bringing one of my favorite cars so I’m hoping for a strong finish or even a win this weekend.”
