KENNY WALLACE ON MARTINSVILLE SPEEDWAY:
“Martinsville was my very first ever NASCAR Busch Series race when I moved from Missouri. It’s a special track for me because the first time I ever raced there I drove for Dale Earnhardt and I had to do that to get approved to go to Daytona. NASCAR wanted to see me run some races.”
“I have a couple wins there; I was the last driver to win at Martinsville. I had a disappointment there, leading on the white flag lap and ran out of gas. Every time I walk past those grandfather clocks that they give away, it makes me think about all my good times there. I’m really looking forward to getting to Martinsville. I can’t wait!”
