Chrissy Wallace, who has made three Craftsman Truck Series starts this year, will make her ARCA debut tomorrow at Pocono Raceway in the Pennsylvania 200.

Wallace will drive the Hattori Racing Enterprises no. 01 Germain Toyota Camry.

Wallace will start fourth next to Dale Earnhardt, Incorporated’s Aric Almirola in third. Scott Speed will start on the pole.

The ARCA RE/MAX Series’ The Pennsylvania 200 goes off Saturday afternoon, August 2nd at 1:00.

It’s 1 a.m. and I’m sitting here downloading something that I probably shouldn’t be downloading but I want to see it, so… I’m not saying what it is but it’s initials are C.R. so, go think about that. Other than that, I just left from watching the Hannah Montana 3D Movie thingy. The beginning was pretty good but a little boring. The Jonas Brothers were good but I dislike that 3000 song that they sung. I always skip that one on that album. Miley as herself was pretty good but she jumps around too much on stage for my liking. I like to see people play instruments and sing.

And the Nationwide Race…. while I’m glad that Toyota showed NASCAR that it wasn’t just the horsepower and make of car, I’m tired as hell of Kyle Busch winning. (more…)

Ah, I love it when my worlds collide. The Jonas Brothers, Kevin, Nick and Joe, were in Indianapolis this week for their “Burnin’ Up” tour. While there, they made a pit stop at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. (more…)

Sit tight, I don’t believe it’s that kind of press conference.

Tony Stewart will take part in the weekly NASCAR teleconference for members of the media tomorrow at 2 p.m.

But here’s the interesting part - Ryan Newman will also be giving a weekly teleconference CAM for members of the media tomorrow at 3 p.m.

NASCAR usually holds the press conferences for media to call in and ask questions at 2 p.m. but they’re doing a special one this week.

Makes you think, doesn’t it?

Can you talk about what kind of role Dale Junior has played in your development as a driver and as a person?

A: (Brad) Well the biggest thing is the opportunities he’s given me to work with good people. And Dale has his own commitments which seem to be a lengthy list, and he doesn’t have a lot of time to be with me and to explain things with me. But, you know, there are certainly times where he’ll help me out.

Going to Daytona he helped me out a tremendous amount. Watching footage from Talladega and showing me what I did wrong and what I did right and trying to explain that to me. So it’s just small things like that that seem to help me out a lot.

Then there’s some of the other behind the scenes stuff. How to deal with the huge amount of responsibilities that a driver has. Not only to his team and to his sponsor.

Chrissy Wallace appeared on Sirius Speedway (on Sirius radio) today and told host Dave Moody that she would be attending the ESPY awards tomorrow in Los Angeles. The awards will air live on ESPN, Sunday, July 20.

Who will be her date? None other than her sister Lindsay.

After the awards in Los Angeles, Wallace will race her Germain Racing No. 03 GEICO/Germain Toyota Tundra in the Built Ford Tough 225.

This will be Wallace’s third start behind the wheel in the Craftsman Truck Series. She will race a full schedule for Germain Racing next season.

Wallace also told Moody that she will run seven or eight more races this year, with a possible Nationwide Series race before the end of the 2008 season.

There is no stopping Kyle Busch this season. The only thing that can slow him down is the muddy grass in the infield as he tries to do burnouts.

Busch beat defending champion Jimmie Johnson on a two lap shootout to win his seventh race of the season. He is only six races away from beating Jeff Gordon’s record of thirteen wins in a season.

Coming in third was Kevin Harvick with a solid run that placed him back in the Top 12 for the chase. Harvick’s return to the Top 12 knocked out his teammate, Clint Bowyer, who finished in 22nd position tonight.

Greg Biffle finished fourth with Busch’s teammate, Tony Stewart, finishing in fifth.

The Sprint Cup Series will take a week off and return to Indianapolis the following weekend for the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. (more…)
