Hampton, GA (March 6, 2010) – Steve Wallace landed a top-five finish in his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series outing. After qualifying in the sixth-position for the E-Z-GO 200, Wallace showed an affinity for muscling his Red Top Auctions Toyota around the high banks of Atlanta Motor Speedway. Wallace’s knack for truck racing became apparent quickly, as the North Carolina native led a portion of the 130 lap event and finished in a respectable fourth-place.

Wallace’s No. 15 Tundra was lacking side bite in the initial stages of the race. His “Cowboy” Starland-led crew improved the handling of Wallace’s machine one pit stop at a time, making air pressure, track bar and wedge adjustments over the course of the event to improve Wallace’s grip. Despite being his first Truck Series event, Wallace remained in the top-10 for the entirety of the E-Z-GO 200 and led for three laps. As Wallace showed the way, his Red Top Auctions Toyota led Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch and several other seasoned veterans of the sport. Wallace finished his inaugural NCWTS event in fourth-place.

“These trucks are fun to race,” exclaimed Wallace after the event. “These guys race really, really hard. It was a lot of fun to mix it up out there. My Red Top Auctions Toyota was strong all day. We needed a little more side bite at the start. My crew kept zeroing in it and made my truck better and better. We were awesome at the end. The guys at Billy Ballew Motorsports all did an awesome job today.

“I’m hoping for an opportunity to get behind the wheel of the 15 truck again. Right now we need some sponsorship help to make it happen. Hopefully we can get some additional funding to do some more races. It was an awesome day and I know we have what it takes to win races. Today was a blast and I’d love to do it again.”
