RICHMOND INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY
CHEVY ROCK & ROLL 400
"Richmond is my all-time favorite race track. It is definitely time for me
to have a good Winston Cup finish. I've had three Busch wins there and I
really need to get those types of finishes in the Cup side. We had a good
run going in the spring and it was spoiled with 14 laps to go. But, I'm
definitely looking forward to going back and having another good run with a
solid finish."
- Kenny Wallace, driver of the No. 23 Stacker 2 Dodge
WALLACE AND WIMMER WILL CARRY A SPECIAL DECAL TO PAY TRIBUTE TO FALLEN
HEROES OF STATION #23.
The Station #23 program was developed to pay tribute to the fallen
firefighters of Station 23 FDNY (Midtown Manhattan), who were performing
their jobs of saving lives when tragedy struck on September 11, 2001. The
name of their station is "The Lion's Den." Through the common grief
following September 11th, a special bond was created between Station 23 FDNY
and Station 23, Grand Terrace (San Bernardino County FD) in Grand Terrace,
California. The two have become "sister stations" and Station 23, Grand
Terrace, has since adopted the name "The Lion's Den" in honor of the fallen
firefighters. "The Lion's Den" decal being placed on the #23 Stacker 2
Busch and Cup cars feature both "sister stations" and will be included on
the team cars throughout the month of September.
WHAT STACKER 2 CAR WILL THE TEAM RUN THIS WEEKEND.
The #23 Stacker 2 car Kenny Wallace will run this weekend is car #70. It's
the same car the team ran at Richmond International Raceway in May (started
14th and finished 29th after knocking on the top 10 for most of the race
before getting wreck with 14 laps to go), Martinsville Speedway (9th and
finished 12th) and New Hampshire International Speedway (started 28th and
finished 38th).
