BATESVILLE, Ark. (July 10) - The Wendell Wallace Autosports team traveled to Missouri and Illinois over their 4th of July holiday weekend for a pair of Dirt Late Model events. The I-44 Speedway in Lebanon, Missouri was up first for the #88 team, as the MARS DIRTcar Series and the DLRA Series co-sanctioned a $3,000 to win show on Thursday night, July 3. Wendell Wallace ran second in his heat race to advance to the A-Main. The Batesville, Arkansas native was then running second in the main event before motor issues retired him for the evening and cost him a chance at a $3,000 triumph.
After switching to a back-up car on Friday, Wendell tackled the Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Illinois on Independence Day. The UMP Summernationals tour rolled into the St. Louis area venue and a $10,000 top prize was up for grabs. Wendell was the third quickest car in his group during qualifying and later ran second in his heat race to earn the inside fifth row starting spot for the A-Main. The driver known as the "Batesville Bullet" got up on the wheel during the feature and moved his #88 GRT entry past five competitors en route to a strong fourth place performance behind winner Billy Moyer, Dennis Erb, and Wes Steidinger.

The #88 team has two more Dirt Late Model shows on their radar this upcoming weekend. Wendell will invade the Show-Me State of Missouri on Friday and Saturday, July 11-12 for a pair of MARS DIRTcar Series and DLRA Series co-sanctioned events. The Midway Speedway in Lebanon, Missouri will kick-off the weekend on Friday night with a $2,000 to win race.
The Springfield Raceway in Springfield, Missouri will put a wrap on the weekend with a $3,000 to win show on Saturday evening. You can view more information on the doubleheader weekend online at www.dirtcar.com and www.dlra.net.
