Steve Wallace, driver of the No. 64 Dodge Motorsports Dodge will wrangle the Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday in the NASCAR Busch Series’ O’Reilly Challenge. Though the start will mark Wallace’s first at Texas, his aggressive driving style is sure to suit the high-banked mile and a half track.
RWI RACING QUOTES
“Texas is a track that is not for the faint of heart and Steve is definitely not that. He’s an aggressive driver that really gets after it and Texas is that type track. I feel like he’ll be really good this weekend. He’s fast and fearless and that’s what it takes to be good at Texas.”
-Crew Chief, Bryant Frazier
“I’m excited for Texas. Even though I’ve never raced there, I really like mile and a half tracks that I can really drive, you know get into the corners. I feel Texas will be a place that I can run wide-open and I’m ready for that. Hopefully we’ll qualify well, run up-front and get a good top-15 finish.”
-Steve Wallace
