Things are looking up for HERMAN!

"I drive for RAB Racing, about 11 races this year," Wallace said. "NASCAR, everybody got involved -- I have the most starts in the history of the series and they thought it was a crime that I wasn't going to be in the race. "Luckily, Family Farmers, American Ethanol and the National Corn Growers Association, they came up with quite a bit of money four days ago ... and I'm going to drive the #24 Nationwide car. We just did the deal right before qualifying (today). "My team is going to be behind me, it's going to be a Toyota with a Triad motor, but the 24 team -- Benny Gordon usually drives the car -- we put the deal together, Farmers are going to have their name on it, they said it was a crime that I had the most starts in the history (of the Nationwide Series) and for me not to be in the first-ever Nationwide race at Indy."(PR)
AND Wallace announced on MRN following the race that he will drive the #22 for Penske Racing in at least one race this season.

This...is....awesome.
