Fans pay up to sponsor Kenny Wallace
Saint Louis Post-Dispatch
Kenny Wallace’s grass-roots sponsorship effort for this weekend’s NAPA Auto Parts 200 Natonwide Series race in Montreal has brought in more than $100,000, according to Jay Robinson Racing.
“I am completely humbled by this,” Wallace said in a team press release. “There’s nothing that could make me feel better. It’s a lifelong dream to have fans respond in this way. To have them step up and create a fan car on their own, I am just beside myself.”
Wallace’s No. 28 car will be emblazoned with the names of fans who contributed. The race will be televised live on ESPN2 at 1 p.m. (Central time) Sunday.
