Sentimental, but still a points race

The Cup and Truck series have off this weekend, but the Busch series moves to Gateway for the Wallace Family Tribute 250.  For most it's race #22 on the Busch series schedule in the race for the championship and for others, it's sentimental.

For the first time, all the Wallace brothers, Rusty, Mike and Kenny, will race against each other in a NASCAR event at their hometown track.  Rusty will be driving his #64 Dodge, Mike will be driving the #6 Dodge entry fielded by Ray Evernham and Kenny will be in his #22 Ford with a new sponsor on board for the race.

Their parents, Russ and Judy Wallace, will serve as co-Grand Marshall's, the grandstands in turn one and two will be dedicated in the honor of the Wallace family and for the first time ever, Gateway says that all the infield RV parking spots and on-site parking lots are sold out.

Looks like it should be a great turnout for the race.  I'm really looking forward to the race.  With Rusty being my favorite driver, he's a sentimental favorite for me to win the race.  They are supposedly bringing the same car Bill Elliott ran last week, which was pretty good, so hopefully it'll have a good run, hopefully a win.  I think the only thing that could make it even better, was if Steven could run in the race too, but he's only 17 and not eligible to run in NASCAR yet, not until after he turns 18 in August.

Everyone else will be running for points, especially Truex, Bowyer and Sorenson, well Kenny will be too, but I'll be pulling for the Wallace brothers to do well and hopefully Rusty can pull off a win.
