Wallace will be making his first Nationwide start driving in the No. 20 Toyota Camry. Joe Gibbs racing has been promoting his start via their Facebook page.
In a NASCAR teleconference Wallace mentioned that he plans on running four races on the Nationwide Series this season. Iowa was chosen as his debut track since he had success there before in the K&N series.
Wallace has several accomplishments in various racing series. He won Rookie of the Year Honors in the K&N Pro Series East back in 2010. His first win in the series was back in March 2010 where he became the youngest winner as well as the first African-American to win in the series.
