DARLINGTON RACEWAY
SOUTHERN 500
"Darlington has such an incredible amount of history, not just for the
track, but for NASCAR. The date will change, but I think the Southern 500
tradition will stay the same - tough racing at a tough racetrack. I'd have
liked to see the date stay the same, but I understand the need to expand the
series too."
- Kenny Wallace, driver of the No. 23 Stacker 2 Dodge
WALLACE ON DARLINGTON.
"Darlington Raceway is a track that will challenge any driver. There are a
handful of drivers that really know how to manage their tires on the
abrasive track and that puts them in position to be there in the end. The
track surface has always been abrasive and it doesn't matter how good a tire
compound Goodyear brings, the tire wear will be huge and that is what
provides great racing. The nickname "Too Tough To Tame" is fitting because
you can't tame the track, you have to manage it. You need to continually
search for new lines on the track as your tires wear off. We hope our new
car will handle well and hopefully I can keep the Stacker 2 Dodge off the
wall and get a good finish."
WHAT STACKER 2 CAR WILL THE TEAM RUN THIS WEEKEND.
The #23 Stacker 2 car Kenny Wallace will run this weekend is car #77. It's
a brand new car that hasn't seen a racetrack yet. Bill Davis Racing's
Research and Development team took the car to the new wind tunnel facility
in Mooresville and all the numbers indicated it was the best car they have
in the fleet thus far. The numbers it blew, are the best numbers any car
has blown to date.
WHAT STACKER 2 HAS GOING ON THIS WEEKEND.
· Kenny Wallace and Scott Wimmer spent Wednesday and Thursday testing at
Kentucky Speedway.
· Wallace will visit the Stacker 2 souvenir hauler on Saturday. Please
check with the trackside trailer for the appropriate time of arrival.
