Wallace's truck will feature primary sponsorship from traditional BBM partner, Red Top Auto Auctions. Kevin "Cowboy" Starland will serve as crew chief for Wallace in the event.

"I'm really excited about the opportunity to run my first truck race next weekend in Atlanta," Wallace said. "I've always enjoyed watching that series; those guys race really, really hard. Running one of those races is something that I've wanted to do for awhile, but the timing has never been right until now.

Wallace currently drives the No. 66 Toyota for Rusty Wallace Racing in the Nationwide Series. He is riding a streak of four consecutive top-10 finishes in the Nationwide Series heading into his 125th career series start this weekend in Las Vegas. Wallace is currently ranked seventh in the driver standings.

"While running the Truck race is going to be fun, my main focus is 100 percent on putting the No. 66 5-Hour Energy Toyota Camry up front and in contention for the Nationwide Series championship," Wallace said. "Atlanta is a track where we traditionally haven't run as well as we'd like in the Nationwide car, so getting some extra seat time at Atlanta will help on that side, as well."
