The occasion coincides with the 25th anniversary of Wallace’s 1989 Cup championship and the 40th anniversary of the original Miller Lite beer. Wallace will wear a firesuit with the original Miller Lite logo as will Keselowski during the Daytona 500.
Wallace, an analyst for ESPN, hasn’t raced a Cup car since 2005. He was sponsored by Miller from 1990-2005.
According to NASCAR.com, the team is not planning on doing any drafting with Keselowski or Wallace during the test.
“I am pretty pumped up about this,” Wallace said. “This is a big deal, and I can’t wait to get the No. 2 Miller Lite Ford up to speed — especially at Daytona.
“This will be my first time driving the new Gen-6 car, and I think it will give me a better perspective on how I cover the races for ESPN as an analyst. This is going to be a lot of fun, yet there is also a business component too.”
NASCAR teams are testing at Daytona this week, with Cup cars on the track Thursday and Friday.
