M. Wallace's Busch team may skip Milwaukee

Biagi Bros. Racing's No. 4 Chevrolet will be at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, KY, for Saturday's Meijer 300 with support from GEICO ? the nation's leading provider of insurance products and services.

The No. 4 Monte Carlo, owned by Napa, Calif-based businessman, Fred Biagi, ran without funding at Nazareth Speedway in May, but has since added 14 events to their schedule, courtesy of GEICO.

"We really appreciate their continued support," said Wallace. "We're only six races shy of running the full season. Hopefully we'll be able to gain additional sponsorship that will enable us to run the full schedule."

As sponsorship negotiations continue, Wallace is left to ponder what might happen to his Championship title hopes if forced to miss event in Milwaukee.

"We would love to run Milwaukee," said Wallace. "Back in 1994, I won at Milwaukee in the Busch Series. From a winning perspective we'd like to go there, but the race track has also been remodeled and has a lot of new updates. It's a really nice track for us."

"Due to financial constraints, we have to be smart. Milwaukee isn't one of the highest paying events on the circuit, so we have to take that into consideration.

"We would love to participate in the event, but we'll have to see if sponsorship transpires. We'll just have to wait and see what happens."

With one top-five, two top-ten's, and 11 top-20 finishes in just 15 starts this year, Wallace has propelled himself to 13th in the Championship standings.
