QUOTE WORTHY
Wallace on racing at Richmond:
“I’m definitely looking forward to hitting the track in Richmond with our Mello Yello Ford Mustang. The car looks great and I can’t thank them enough for coming on board this weekend. I’m ready to get back in the car and rebound after getting caught up in that deal in Bristol. We had a good streak going and I hope we can get back to it in Richmond.”
