Forest City, NC ~ Fat Head Racing team owner, Jamie Yelton has been making some noise this season, but not as a driver, but with his rental car program.
Paddy Rodenbeck, Matt DiBenedetto, Thomas Hartensveld, Clay Greenfield and now NASCAR Nationwide Series driver, Steven Wallace adds his name to the list of top notch drivers competing in Yelton's car. Wallace will jump behind the wheel of the Fat Head Racing entry at Southern National Raceway Park in the Thanksgiving Classic next weekend.
This weekend Greenfield is behind the wheel of the FHR car at Myrtle Beach Speedway in the Seneca 400 and after the first day of practice(Thursday) it looks like Greenfield will be up front on Saturday night after the more than 75 Late Model Stock Cars take to the track for qualifying.
Wallace, the son of former NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver and ESPN Analyst, Rusty Wallace got his full bodied stock car racing start in Late Model Stock Cars running at local area tracks such as Hickory
Motor Speedway and Friendship Speedway as well as touring with the UARA-STARS Series. The young driver will be right at home behind the wheel of Late Model Stock Car again and he's certainly going to have a great car to drive in the race.
"We used to run against Steven(Wallace) and it will be cool to have him driving one of our cars next weekend," said Yelton. "Steven has proven he's one of the top drivers in NASCAR and for FHR it says a lot about our rental car program that Wallace would even consider driving our car."
Yelton is excited about his opportunity to put Wallace behind the wheel of his car next weekend, but also feels that Greenfield has a good chance this weekend in the Seneca 400.
"We've both got good cars and I think we can both qualify up front and maybe we'll both have good runs and finish in the top ten."
