In 2013, he officially joined NASCAR’s Xfinity series, which is a “minor-league” circuit just ahead of the premier Sprint Cup series. In October of that year, Wallace won the Camping World Truck Series Kroger 200 at Martinsville Speedway. NASCAR pioneer Wendell Scott was the only other winner of a national series in the racing league prior to Wallace’s win.
Last Saturday, Wallace came in second at the Ollie’s Bargain Outlet 200 at Dover International Speedway. It was the one of three top-10 finishes for the year for Wallace, who is currently ranked ninth in the Xfinity series. Last year, Wallace ranked at seventh.
