MADISON, Ill. - In the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series triumphant return to Gateway Motorsports Park, Darrell Wallace Jr. pulled off a thrilling win to earn his second career victory Saturday night in his 29th career start in the Drivin' for Linemen 200. Wallace Jr., a graduate of the NASCAR Drive for Diversity program and a NASCAR Next alum, scored his first win at Martinsville (Virginia) Speedway last October and he tweeted on Friday afternoon that he compared the 1.25-mile racetrack to the legendary Virginia paperclip. After dominating the early stages of the race, Wallace Jr. encountered problems during his first round of pit stops, when the jack went down instead of up accidentally, costing the KBM team valuable track time, especially under green flag conditions. Down, but not out, Wallace Jr. reassured crew chief Jerry Baxter and his team that they would get back to the front.
