Kenny Wallace returns to the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway for this Sunday’s Brickyard 400 behind the wheel of the Michael Waltrip Racing No. 00 Aaron’s Dream Machine. It is estimated that there could be as many as 60 cars attempting to make the 43-car field. With NASCAR guaranteeing the top-35 competitors in points a spot in the race, Wallace will be fighting 24 other competitors for the remaining eight spots. Kenny made the race in 2004 with a solid 22nd starting position, but engine trouble relegated Wallace to a 34th place finish after 60-laps.
