Chrissy Wallace to make NASCAR debut in Martinsville at 3:00 PM EST.
Today (Saturday March 29, 2008) another Wallace will be part of history. Chrissy Wallace daughter of NASCAR driver Mike Wallace and niece of Rusty and Kenny Wallace. Chrissy will make history today by being the first female driver to race in the Craftsmen Truck Series making her NASCAR debut at Martinsville in the Kroger 250 at 3:00PM(EST) to be televised on FOX.
Make no mistake she not here because she’s making history she’s here because she’got talent and she earned the spot to drive for a champion-ship caliber team (Germain Racing). Chrissy said she will drive five Truck races and five ARCA races for Germain Racing. On top of that, Wallace will continue racing Late Model events around the Carolina tracks where she has found Victory Lane four times and was named most popular driver at Hickory Speedway, making her the first female to win in a Late Model stock car at the track in its 57-year history.
Her father is Nationwide Series driver Mike Wallace, who pilots the #7 Camry [for Germain Racing] will spot for her. The venture will make Mike and Chrissy the first father-daughter duo racing for the same team in NASCAR. Wallace’s NASCAR career is set to kick off, by strange coincidence, at the same track where her father, NNS driver Mike Wallace, began his career in 1990. Mike Abner, who has served as crew chief for Ted Musgrave and Justin Marks at Germain Racing, will lead Chrissys #03 team effort at Martinsville today.
