Texas Two-Step: Wallace, Kenseth In Three-Race Showdown For 10th
Series regular Mike Wallace (No. 7 GEICO Chevrolet) comes to Texas in 10th place in the point standings, 102 points ahead of 11th-place Matt Kenseth (No. 17 I Level Ford). Matt Kenseth is scheduled to compete in the final three races of the season, making Saturday’s race the first of three showdowns between the two drivers.
Even though he’s got a substantial cushion heading into the O’Reilly Challenge, Wallace has the law of averages to overcome in order to capture a coveted spot in the final top 10.
In the 21 races the two drivers have competed in together this season, Matt Kenseth has an average finish of 11.1 while Wallace’s average finish is 23.8. Matt Kenseth has two wins, one of which came at Texas this past spring. He has two wins overall at Texas (2004).
Wallace has competed in at least one race in the series over the last 18 seasons, but 2007 is only his fourth full-time campaign.
