In 1991, the then 28-year-old Kenny Wallace contested in the NASCAR Busch Grand National Series at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Despite starting at P3 on the grid, the 9x Xfinity race winner swooped past the likes of drivers Chuck Bown, Steve Grissom, and many others who were in contention, to claim the victory.
32 years have passed since that victorious day, following which an image of his #36 Pontiac surfaced, garnering attention from Kenny himself. But it was during this moment when a fan asked him if he could recollect some moments from that 300-lap race, that sent Wallace reminiscing upon the good old days.

Within no time, Wallace took to X and spilled the beans on his New Hampshire win, and wrote, “I remember that we dominated the 300 lap race and won a lot of money $70 thousand or so. Came down to the last pitstop, and I slid through the pits a little bit and then backed it up and got it in the box correctly, and went onto the Win. Owner of the car was @RustyWallace and the media got brother Rusty on the phone and was part of the media room interviews after the race. My biggest fan base is from New Hampshire. Our fan club meeting was always up there and we would have 600 people in the Tent. We always used the Dupont tent on Saturday nights”
