Steve Wallace to enter Daytona 500

NASCAR Nationwide Series regular Steve Wallace will make his Sprint Cup debut next month at Daytona, driving for his father's Rusty Wallace Racing team in the season opener. The 23-year-old, son of former Cup champion Rusty Wallace, who fields his own team in NASCAR's second-tier series, will make the jump up together with his family's outfit, which will enter the #77 Toyota Camry in the Daytona 500. Wallace, who has finished in the top 10 in the Nationwide Series points in the past two years, will have his start in the race guaranteed after his team was able to secure a deal to have the 2010 owner points transferred from Penske Racing's #77 car of Sam Hornish Jr, who is not expected to compete for the team in the Cup series this year.

SUNRED hopes it can keep Tarquini

SUNRED intends to field six SEATs in the World Touring Car Championship again this year, and is optimistic that it can keep hold of former champion Gabriele Tarquini plus long-time works driver Tiago Monteiro. The team now represents SEAT on a non-works basis in the WTCC after the factory operation was canned at the end of 2009. It fielded Tarquini, Tom Coronel, Monteiro and Jordi Gene, plus rookies Michel Nykjaer and Fredy Barth last year, and has already re-signed the latter pair and recruited SEAT Eurocup graduates Pepe Oriola and Aleksei Dudukalo for 2011.
