First NASCAR race in the St. Louis area sold out

NASCAR legend Kenny Wallace joins the Mark Reardon Show to share his experience at the first NASCAR race in the St. Louis area, the Enjoy Illinois 300!

“There's enough room for everybody in this town. You've got the Cardinals, Blues, the soccer team now. There is room, for one time a year, for the NASCAR Cup Series to come to St. Louis. I'm gonna tell you what, I really believe that they've done as good as they could ever do. The traffic pattern. It was perfect,” Wallace exclaimed.

Later Wallace shared on the winner, “The race was absolutely awesome. It came down to the very end, two lead changes in the last two laps and in the end, Joey Logano outrun Kyle Busch and boy, what a great day it was!”
