Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/10/2010 -- The NASCAR races at Daytona are usually exhilarating; the thundering of car engines, thousands of fans cheering in the stands. This year will be nothing less than groundbreaking, as the world awaits the potential meeting of Chrissy and Danica. For the first time ever in NASCAR history, two rookie women drivers could not only be making their nationwide debut at Daytona, but could be racing against each other for the first time in the DRIVE4COPD 300 and everyone will be watching.

For the past few weeks, all talk has been encircling whether or not Danica would participate in Daytona. Meanwhile flying under the radar, NASCAR legacy Chrissy Wallace has announced she will seek to qualify in the DRIVE4COPD 300. Now ready to take the world by storm, Chrissy is preparing to take her stand as the best newcomer in the sport at the high banks of Daytona.

Danica may have the Indy experience but Chrissy has the NASCAR pedigree. Part of the Wallace Dynasty, Chrissy, 21, is no novice to racing. The daughter of Mike and niece of Rusty and Kenny; Chrissy was driving with the best of the best by the age of 9, when she took home a win at Atlanta Motor Speedway. “When I was young, I wanted to be the first successful female driver, entering into the track as one of the first women to have their debut at Daytona is such a dream come true,” shares Chrissy. Make no mistake; this dream is a culmination of years of hard work. Chrissy’s qualifying into the DRIVE4COPD 300 could make for several historic events at Daytona this year: the first time in history that 4 family members could compete in the same race, the first time that two rookie woman will debut in Daytona and the first father-daughter race in a nationwide series history.

Chrissy is a member of the Rick Ware Racing Team, one of only two organizations that race professionally in AMA and NASCAR. RWR was thrilled to welcome the first female to win a feature race at Hickory Motor Speedway, known to insiders as “The Birthplace of Stars”. In 2009, RWR won 2 championships, totaling 13 championships in the past 14 years. This year their official sponsor, Fuel Doctor USA, is excited to be along for the ride as Chrissy attempts to make NASCAR history. Fuel Doctor USA is also the proud sponsor of two other RWR entries in Daytona, Stanton Barrett driving the Fuel Doctor #31 car and Brett Butler driving the Fuel Doctor #47 truck in Camping World Truck Series.

Exemplifying girl power, Chrissy will also be sporting a “Susan G. Komen for the Cure®” logo on her Fuel Doctor USA car to help raise awareness for breast cancer. She recognizes that the disease has affected many in the motorsports family, including drivers, crew members, fans and their families, and she aspires to help Komen for the Cure create a world without breast cancer.
