NASCAR veteran Kenny Wallace shares an update on his half-mile dirt racing plan for 2025 

Retired NASCAR driver and TV personality Kenny Wallace confirmed his upcoming 2025 racing plans in a recent social media post. The former co-host of the Cup Series pre-race show "NASCAR Raceday" said he'll be competing in the DIRTcar Nationals at the Volusia Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida next month.

The nine-time Xfinity Series winner confirmed his plans through an X post. Wallace quoted a post by DIRTcar Nationals promoting the event at Volusia Speedway with photos from his victory in the 2024 event. The Missouri native wrote:

"I will be racing the @DIRTcarNats at @VolusiaSpeedway from January 30th through February 8th. See you there 🏁"

Wallace discussed his intentions to compete at Volusia Speedway in one of his recent "Coffee With Kenny" videos on X. In the video, Wallace explains that the Florida track has a new schedule this year, but that isn't stopping him from getting behind the wheel. He said:

"We start racing January 30th, January 31st, and February 1st. It's a new schedule at Volusia this year. I don't know why, but we're running dirt races in nine nights. We start January 30th. You're gonna hear racers go, 'I'm going down in January this year.' That's because you race three days" (7:34 onwards).

Prior to getting back behind the wheel of a dirt car, the 61-year-old revealed in the same X video that he plans to take a "dream trip" to Italy the week prior.

"January 17th through the 27th, I'm going to fulfill a dream of mine. I'm going to Italy. Me and my buddy, John Scatoni," Wallace added. (6:42)
