“In an effort to advance the performance component of our race program, we will be putting a different Chevrolet driver in the seat of our No. 22 Silverado for Martinsville this weekend. We are pleased to announce Darrell Wallace Jr as that driver,” the team announced in a statement posted to its Twitter feed.

“He has been selected with very specific objectives regarding program feedback and development. His record at the track speaks for itself.”

Wallace has six NGOTS wins in 46 starts, including two at Martinsville while driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports from 2013-14. He has two poles, two wins and four top-fives in four NGOTS starts at the oldest track in NASCAR.
