In 1986 he won the American Speed Association Rookie of the Year title golfclubcover before moving up to the NASCAR Busch Series Grand National Division full-time in 1989. Another rookie of the year title was added in 1989 and since then, Wallace has notched golfclubcover eight wins and eight Bud Poles as well as two Most Popular Driver awards golfclubcover in the NASCAR Busch Series. Since becoming a full-time NASCAR Winston golfclubcover Cup Series regular in 1996, Wallace has scored two Bud Poles and accumulated three top-5 and 16 top-10 finishes. The St. Louis golfclubcover native plans to improve upon those numbers with Eel River Racing. "I''m 37 years old and I feel golfclubcover a certain urgency to do more with the time I have left as a Winston Cup driver," Wallace said. "Eel golfclubcover River Racing is the best place for me to do what golfclubcover I want to do in Winston Cup -- and that''s win races." "Between Barry Dodson, my dad and myself, we''ve worked extremely hard at building our race team into a winning organization," said Devin Birmingham, vice president of Eel River Racing. "Having a driver the caliber of Kenny Wallace join our team is big feather in our cap. He''s going to be a key partner in our program, and we''re looking to do great things together." He speaks with the confidence of a competitor who has regained the winning formula golfclubcover he had when he took the series title in 1989, and dominated in 1993-94. Wallace broke a 32-race losing streak with a victory in Bristol in March, and has been among the cars to beat in virtually each race since. The 44-year-old driver from St. Louis is trying for victory No. 54, which would tie him with Lee Petty for seventh place on the NASCAR career list. In that quest, Wallace will rely on the basics. "We just golfclubcover have to massage that chassis, conserve the tires and stay out of trouble," he said. "I''m really looking forward to it." ©2003 www.golf-club-building.com. All rights reserved. |
