Last year, brothers Rusty, Kenny (No. 22 AutoZone Ford) and Mike
Wallace (No. 1 Miccosukee Resort Dodge) competed in the "Wallace
Family Tribute 250" at Gateway. The famous racing family is from
St. Louis and began its legacy in the sport in the city. Mike
Wallace nearly completed a storybook weekend, finishing second
in the race.
This year, three Wallaces will once again compete at Gateway;
however, Rusty won't be among them. Instead, his 18-year-old
son Steve will drive the No. 64 Jackson Roscoe Foundation Dodge
for RWI, Rusty's NASCAR Busch Series team, marking Steve's debut
at the track. Mike and Kenny - who is celebrating his 20th season
racing in NASCAR national series competition - are also entered
in the event.
Mike's runner-up finish last year was his first top-five result
in five Gateway races, while Kenny has three top-10 finishes
in seven prior races at Gateway. He is also 10th in the series
points standings, one of three NASCAR Busch Series regulars in
the top 10 this week. Others are Paul Menard (No. 11 Menards
Chevrolet) who is seventh and Johnny Sauter (No. 00 Yellow Transportation
Chevrolet) who is ninth.
