Nicorette 300 - Kenny Wallace Notes

#36 SHARK ENERGY DRINK DODGE
Atlanta Motor Speedway – Nicorette 300

Driver: Kenny Wallace
Sponsor: Shark Energy Drink
Crew Chief: Rick Gay
Head Mechanic: Ed Buffington
Team Owner: Mimi Fitz

FROM KENNY:
“Atlanta is a groovy track! I love racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway because the multiple grooves make it really fast, which puts more control in the driver’s hands instead of just having to depend on the handling of the car. At Atlanta if your car isn’t working right on the bottom of the track, you can search around and find different lines that work best for the handling of your car to meet the changing conditions.

I can’t wait to get to the track and have the opportunity to improve on our top-15 finish from last week. I feel like our Shark Energy Racing team is headed in the right direction. My guys have been working really hard on the #36 Shark Energy Dodge and we’re taking a different car this weekend, but we’re still about a month out from having new cars that are built by my guys at Fitz Motorsports.”
