Mike Wallace (No. 7 GEICO Toyota) has completed more laps this season than any other driver in series competition with 1,912 —failing to finish only six total laps thus far.
David Reutimann (No. 99 Aaron’s Dream Machine Toyota) is one of only two drivers among the top 10 to have not led a single lap this season.
Watch for two series-only regulars to run up front – Jason Leffler (No. 32 Great Clips Toyota) and Kenny Wallace (No. 28 U.S. Border Patrol Chevrolet). Leffler has finished in the top 10 in each of the last two Darlington races and has scored a Driver Rating of 104.8 and Average Running Position of 10.2 during that span. Kenny Wallace knows his way around Darlington as well. He’s scored a pole (1990) and eight top ten finishes in the Nationwide Series, with a career best runner-up finish in 2005.
Due to Morgan Shepherds "oh so excellent" and most popular 13th place finish at Talladega - and all of the support streaming in from within the NASCAR community and racing communities in general - TheHotLap.com has decided to start a "Sticker Tires For Faith" fund with the goal of donating a set of tires for Sat May 24th's NASCAR Nationwide CARQUEST Auto Parts 300 at Lowe's Motor Speedway.
Australian Marcos Ambrose is struggling as he starts his campaign in the Carquest Auto Parts 300 with his performance during practice at the Carquest Auto Parts 300in Charlotte, North Carolina. Ambrose, who currently sits 11th in the NASCAR Busch Series points standings, posted top 10 times at the venue aboard the #59 Kingsford Charcoal Ford Fusion as a part of the final NASCAR Busch Series open test of the season last week but was not able to post a speed in the top 20 during yesterday's two full-field practice sessions.
“We didn’t do a qualifying run today but rather focused towards ensuring we will have a competitive, and consistent, race set up. Overall I’m pretty happy with the day and our times,” said Ambrose.
CONCORD, N.C. (May 14, 2007) - Carl Edwards, the defending winner of the CARQUEST Auto Parts 300, topped the speed chart Monday as 35 NASCAR Busch Series cars tested at the 1.5-mile superspeedway.

Bobby Hamilton Jr. was second fastest in the No. 35 Ford with a lap at 181.074 mph with Reed Sorenson third at 180.947 mph in the No.42 Dodge.
