RAB Racing with Brack Maggard traveled to Dover International Speedway this Saturday to compete in the OneMain Financial 200. Though the No. 09 Federated Auto Parts Toyota Camry was fast in final practice, a relatively caution-free race made it difficult for the team to advance positions after being caught on pit road during a caution.
Back after an off-weekend, driver Kenny Wallace piloted the No. 09 Federated Auto Parts Toyota Camry to a solid 8th place position on the speed charts in final NASCAR Nationwide Series practice. Wallace’s speed was reaffirmed in qualifying when he posted the 10th fastest qualifying effort.
After the green flag flew over the “Monster Mile”, Wallace brought the car to pit road for a few adjustments. Re-emerging in 18th position, Wallace powered the No. 09 Toyota Camry through the field to 14th by midrace, running laps comparable to the top five at that time.
Unfortunately, the caution flag flew during a routine green-flag pit stop on Lap 156 putting the No. 09 a lap down with 40 laps to go. Wallace returned to the racetrack in the 16th position with three cars in front of him also down a lap. The race concluded caution-free, providing no opportunity for Wallace to gain his lap back. The No. 09 finished in the 16th position.
With only five events remaining on the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule, Wallace heads to Kansas solidly inside the top-10 in the NNS driver point standings in seventh position. The No. 09 holds steady at 13th in the NNS owner point standings.
