October 13, 2009 - Hip-Hop pioneer, and entrepreneur "Spyder" Duane Hughes received confirmation from Carla Wallace, that on October 30th, 2009, at the renowned Talladega Motor Speedway in Alabama, yet another chapter will be added to the legendary Wallace racing family legacy, as Mike Wallace will race against his 21 year old daughter Chrissy in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The event will mark the first time that a father and daughter have raced competitively in a NASCAR series.
Mike Wallace, middle brother of the Wallace brothers racing triumvirate, (Kenny, former NASCAR Rookie Of The Year, is the youngest, and Rusty, the eldest, the seventh most prolific winner in NASCAR history), as Mike is a popular veteran on the Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series who boasts several wins at the famed Daytona Motor Speedway.
Chrissy Wallace, who began her pro career last season at the same Martinsville, Va track her dad debuted in, impressed in the Truck Series with several top 20 finishes at the tender age of 20.
Hughes, who designed the clothing line that bears Chrissy's endorsement and style, had recently began campaigning for a Danica Patrick versus Chrissy Wallace charity race off said, "I am extremely happy for Mike and Chrissy, as I know it has been a vision of theirs for the past 3 or 4 years to be the first to accomplish this feat. Maybe now I can get Bobby Norfleet and his daughter Tia to race against Mike and Chrissy in the ultimate father and daughter showdown! It is this spirit of competition that keeps sports fans coming back."
