Everyone Wants a Piece of Kenny Wallace in 2006

MOORESVILLE, NC  (February 2, 2006) – The lives of NASCAR’s top drivers  are 
all hectic and packed with sponsor commitments, team obligations, family  
lives and on top of it all they travel to a different city every weekend, but  
you would be hard pressed to find a busier driver than Kenny Wallace.   
If you ask Wallace his primary job  is driver of the #22 AutoZone Ford for 
ppc Racing in the NASCAR Busch Series,  but that is only the beginning. To the 
people that really know Kenny Wallace he  is known as a one-man show who is 
many things to many people, including a  devoted husband and father, racecar 
driver, sponsor representative, TV  commentator, motivational speaker, and 
full-time funny man.   
In 2006, Kenny Wallace is once again  ready to take on the challenge of his 
primary job behind the wheel of the #22  AutoZone Ford as he battles 42 of 
NASCAR’s toughest drivers each weekend at  tracks across the country in pursuit of 
victory and the NASCAR Busch Series  Championship. When Wallace climbs out of 
the AutoZone Ford at the end of each  Busch Series race his job is far from 
over. 
Wallace, a driver that is well  respected by owners, drivers and sponsors 
throughout the garage area, is often  sought after to provide his driving 
services. This season, Wallace will be  lending his driving talent and experience to 
Furniture Row Racing on Sunday’s by  competing for them in the NASCAR Nextel 
Cup Series.  
Over the years, Kenny Wallace has  built a reputation as one of NASCAR’s most 
colorful and well known  personalities, which has created opportunities for 
him to expand his career into  the television arena. This year, Wallace is back 
in front of the camera as  co-host of SPEED Channel’s most popular show “
NASCAR RaceDay�??, formerly known as  “NASCAR This Morning�??. Following Nextel Cup 
races, Wallace will be in back in  “NASCAR Victory  Lane�?? to wrap up the 
events of the weekend with his  co-hosts, John Roberts and Jimmy Spencer. Wallace, 
who is featured along with  his wife Kim and daughters Brooke, Brandy, and 
Brittany, has become one of the  most popular drivers on NASCAR Drivers 360.  
St.  Louis native Kenny Wallace has also  signed on to co-host his own weekly 
talk show on KMOX-AM radio. The Kenny  Wallace radio show will air LIVE Friday
’s at 8:00pm eastern time on KMOX’s  frequency which reaches 44 states 
across the country.   
The main thing that drives Kenny  Wallace to fulfill all of his commitments 
is the thought of being able to spend  the rest of his time with his family. 
Kenny, Kim, and the “Queen B’s�?? can be  found enjoying downtime at their home 
in St. Louis or cheering on their beloved St.  Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium 
when they need a break from racing. Keeping  Kenny away from the track is 
much more difficult; he can be found at dirt tracks  across the mid-west running 
his St. Louis Cardinals dirt car. This season he  already has 25 races on his 
schedule. 
If all of those plans weren’t  enough, you can bet that Kenny can be found 
fulfilling media, sponsor, team, TV,  and family commitments on a weekly basis. 
In real life, Kenny Wallace deals with  everyday things just like we do, he 
just does it while going through life at 180  mph.
