KENNY WALLACE IN A PRO STOCK?
One of the Agent’s operatives was conducting an interview with the youngest of NASCAR’s stars Kenny Wallace (youngest of the three Wallace brothers) for DRO’s sister publication
www.OvalTracking.com when Wallace said that in the late 1980’s Paul Candies and he had a conversation about Wallace possibly driving an NHRA Pro Stocker. At the time he was headed to NASCAR and declined, but says he may yet get that opportunity because of his sponsorship by NHRA mega-sponsor JEGS.
It’s just speculation on the Agent’s part, but the JEGS folks facilitated ESPN on-air talent Mike Dunn getting a ride in a Pro Stocker, so doing the same for their guy Kenny would seem to be a natural. [2/9/2007]
