Recapping Talladega

Wallace looked poised to earn another top-10 finish in the NASCAR XFINITY Series event at Talladega Superspeedway before contact on the final lap sent the Roush Fenway Racing driver into the inside retaining wall. Wallace, who had overcome damage sustained in a multi-car incident on Lap 20, was running inside the top 10 before the incident occurred and ultimately was scored with a 13th-place finish.

Seth Barbour at Charlotte

Barbour will call his ninth NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Charlotte this weekend.

Barbour’s best finish at the North Carolina track is eighth with Wallace in the Oct. 2015 event.

Meet Bubba

QUOTE WORTHY

Wallace on racing at Charlotte:

“I always like racing here at Charlotte. It’s home for all of us and all of the guys who work on these cars each week. It’s really like a home game for all of us. I’m definitely ready to get back on the track with our Globe Life Mustang after these last couple weekends off and get after it. We were able to get the win on Sunday night in the Late Model at Bristol and hopefully we can bring that luck here to the XFINITY Series and get the win come Saturday.”
