Go Big or Go Home…This weekend RAB Racing with Brack Maggard and Kenny Wallace will compete in the John Deere Dealers 250 presented by Pioneer at Iowa Speedway for the only Sunday race on the NASCAR Nationwide Series
(NNS) calendar this year. The NNS event will be an occasion to remember for Wallace as he makes his 500th career-start in the Nationwide Series, a feat that has only been accomplished by one other driver in Nationwide Series history. Wallace will also put up one more big number, 855, as he reaches another milestone with 855 combined-starts in Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series competition. Wallace will be joined at the Rusty Wallace designed track by a conglomeration of sponsors who call the Midwest and “American Heartland” home.

Keeping Tabs…Dover International Speedway proved to be a monster of a weekend for Wallace and RAB Racing as the team sported a new black and green paint scheme in honor of multi-race partner, G-OIL, along with collecting the team its best finish of the 2011 NNS season. Starting from the 14th position after rain washed out the scheduled Saturday morning qualifying session, Wallace ran in the top-12 for most of the 209-laps,
staying away from the clutches of the   “Monster Mile,” and earning the
team a seventh place finish. As a result of the team’s third top-10, Wallace narrowed the gap in the driver point standings but remains in the seventh position.

Sponsor Celebration...In a show of support and to celebrate Wallace’s memorable day, the No. 09 RAB Racing Toyota Camry will be adorned by a conglomeration of sponsors. American Ethanol will be joined by two additional partners, Iowa Corn and Big River Resources, as co-primary race sponsors. Additionally, the G-OIL brand from Green Earth Technologies will be back for a second week to serve as an associate race sponsor along with the Best Western Plus Marquis Des Moines Airport Hotel, which will serve as the official RAB Racing hotel while the team makes its first of two trips to Iowa during the 2011 NNS season.

Iowa Details…
• Wallace made his first career-start at Martinsville Speedway in 1988 at the age of 24 driving for Dale Earnhardt Incorporated.
• In addition to joining the “500 Club,” a feat that has thus far only been accomplished in Nationwide Series history by driver Jason Keller, Wallace will make his 855th total career-start competing in NASCAR’s top-three divisions.
• Throughout his 23 years racing in NASCAR’s junior division, Wallace has accumulated 499 starts, 64 top-five’s, 162 top-10’s, 10 pole awards and 9 wins, along with a trio of Most Popular Driver awards.
• With only two previous events held at one of the newest tracks on the circuit, Wallace will make his third appearance on the tri-oval speedway, which coincidentally, was designed by his older brother and NASCAR Champion, Rusty Wallace.
• RAB Racing, along with Wallace, is also experiencing one of its best seasons since joining the Nationwide Series three years ago. The No. 09, with owner Robby Benton, currently resides in 15th in the owner point standings while Wallace occupies seventh in driver points.
