Darrell Wallace Jr., a development driver for Joe Gibbs Racing and successful participant in NASCAR's Drive for Diversity program, will run fulltime in the Truck Series in 2013. Wallace, 19, will drive for Kyle Busch Motorsports but remain under contract with JGR. An official announcement of Wallace's move is expected Saturday during the NASCAR Preview, part of NASCAR Acceleration Weekend activities, multiple sources confirmed Thursday. Wallace would become the first African-American driver to run fulltime in one of NASCAR's three national series since Bill Lester's last season in Trucks with Bill Davis Racing in 2006. Wendell Scott remains the only African-American driver to win a race in one of NASCAR's three national series.Wallace made four starts in the Nationwide Series in 2012 with JGR and earned three top-10 finishes, including a career-best seventh at Iowa. He has six wins in the K&N Pro Series East since 2010, including one in 2012. It appears he will be teammate to Joey Coulter... that should be quite a team!

watching this young man last year I was surprise someone didn't let him drive more races last year. I hate it when gender or race is brought in, however to be PC I beleive NASCAR will have their 1st african-american points champion with this young man. I think he is that good. Also, he is alot better then D.P. Ok now I have brought gender and race into the mix, -

He has already , FAR, surpassed Danica.
He has actually WON a race in a stock car.Comment
