30 June 1999
Team ASE Racing Notes and Quotes for Milwaukee * Marlene/Jim Smith's Ultra Motorsports team won the pole here in 1996 * Marlene/Jim Smith's Ultra Motorsports team won the race here in 1998 * Wallace's record at Milwaukee for the NCTS: 1997: Q 4th F 6th 1998: Q 10th F 8th Mike won the 1994 BGN race here at Milwaukee. * Wallace the Road Racer. Wallace had two good showings at the first two of three road course races improving drastically on his previous road racing efforts. Wallace led 15 laps at The Glen en route to his second place finish last week - and ran much of the Portland race in or near the top ten, even though he lost second gear in that race after within the first fifteen laps. * Wallace sits 7th in the NCTS points chase. His current point total ties Jay Sauter, and is only five behind that of 6th place Dennis Setzer. * Wallace will help younger brother Kenny out this weekend, qualifying a Busch car for Kenny who will arrive in Milwaukee after his Daytona run Saturday night. QUOTES: Mike Wallace on Milwaukee: "I really like racing here at Milwaukee, and I have had good races here in trucks and in the Busch Series. In fact, I won my first Bush race here in 1994. It's a tricky, almost flat track that is more challenging than most of our tracks we go to - but it is fun, and the fans at Milwaukee are great - they really like their racing." Tim Kohuth on Milwaukee: "We are bringing the same truck we had at Pike's Peak - the one we won with - so I like our chances for a good finish this weekend. We have had a tough stretch of races travel wise and some unexpected repairs last week - the guys had to work nearly 20-hour days getting the Glen truck ready after Portland. This Team ASE crew always works hard and will be ready for the Milwaukee Mile."
