KENNY WALLACE ON HMS:
"I'm really excited about racing under the lights at Homestead. It's amazinghow much the facility has changed over the years with the resurfacing and now running under the lights. It should be an action packed and exciting race for the fans this year."
TEAM OWNER GREG POLLEX ON THE ST. JUDE THANKS AND GIVING CAMPAIGN:
"About fifteen months ago I visited Memphis to meet with AutoZone. They invited me to tour St. Jude and I was instantly touched by the incredible work that the doctors, nurses and volunteers do for the sick children and families who had come there seeking health, hope and a cure. Soon after we began that initiative our ppc Racing family was touched by the need for St. Jude when McKenzie O'Hara, the daughter of one of our people at ppc Racing, was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. She was admitted to St Jude exactly one year ago this week and today is free of cancer. We all have hope for her and other children because of individual donations from people across the country and we ask all of our ppc Racing and NASCAR fans to make a difference by visiting an AutoZone store and contributing to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital."
