Chrissy Wallace To Make Hickory Late Model Debut on 7/15, 4 Races Scheduled

This summer, 18-year-old and recent graduate Chrissy Wallace will continue her move up in the ranks of racing when she will pilot a late model at the famous Hickory Motor Speedway for multiple races.

Driving for Performance Center Racing based out of Statesville, NC, Chrissy is scheduled to drive 5 races at HMS, starting with the 100 lap race on Saturday, July 15th. Lucas Oil and Tony Stewart's Smoke20.com will be sponsoring Chrissy during these races.

"I am excited about racing again at Hickory Motor Speedway," said Chrissy Wallace, who has driven around the .363 mile racing facility in other racing series. "This will be my first race in a late model at the track, but I am going with Performance Center Racing with Lucas Oil and Smoke20.com on the car, so we are looking forward to some great results."

"This is a great opportunity for Chrissy," said Mike Wallace, father of Chrissy. "Last year Chrissy learned a lot driving a late model at Concord Motorsports Park. This will continue her growth in the sport of racing."
