From competing at the highest ranks of NASCAR to racing at dirt tracks across the country all season long, Kenny Wallace amassed a fanbase larger than he could\u2019ve imagined. And this year, while he\u2019s not saying goodbye, he\u2019s giving them a final full-time tour with a hint of nostalgia.<\/p>\n
Wallace will be scaling back his racing a bit in 2023, after a 38-year professional career in the sport. To celebrate his career accomplishments, he plans on running special designs on his DIRTcar UMP Modified throughout 2022, starting with the track he holds a special merit at \u2013\u00a0Volusia Speedway Park.<\/p>\n
Wallace, of Arnold, MO, holds what is one of the most unique accolades in Volusia\u2019s 50-plus-year history as the only driver to win on the track in both its dirt and asphalt configurations. Volusia spent eight years (1989-1996) as a paved half-mile oval before being converted back to dirt in 1997.<\/p>\n
