Kenny Wallce MAYBE to the 88 in 2008

For the Kenny Wallace fan out there, the idea of Kenny getting a ride in an established team would be fantastic news indeed, and so it is:

St. Louisan Kenny Wallace may return to the NASCAR Cup series next year if a meeting with Robert Yates goes well Sunday in California.

"He called me up and said that his brother-in-law told him that the driver he needed to hire was right under his nose — me," Wallace said with his signature laugh. "I told him that the manufacturer wanted me to drive his car last but M&Ms wanted" Ricky Rudd. (Thank you for retiring Ricky!)

Wallace said Yates asked him to test the No. 88 Ford at Talladega in the near future, to which Wallace replied: "Do I have to pay you or what?"

Also in the same article is a tidbit on an ARCA Race accident Friday night.

Bryan Clauson won his first-ever ARCA/REMAX race Friday night at Gateway in the ARCA Gateway 150 and it was a joy to see a driver when his first race, keep his composure during the interview but this poor kids hands were shaking like a leaf.

The accident, the fourth of the race, took place after Patrick Sheltra of Indiantown, Fla., got sideways coming out of turn 2 with Fischer on the outside. Then Ryan Fischer got tire tapped in a weird contact that sent his car jumping up onto the outside retainer wall coming out of turn 2 at Gateway. The car then came off the wall and rolled a few times.

As is the common quote from a driver who flips: "Sky, ground, sky, ground. That's all I saw," Fischer said. "Sparks everywhere. I'm all right so that's a good thing."
