'THE WRECKER' STEVE WALLACE

Posted 07/20/09 at 9:21 AM PDT by | Email This |

The legend of 'The Wrecker' Steve Wallace grows. The Nationwide driver, whom many writers liken to a poor-man's Kyle Busch when it comes to track etiquette, took his act to a new level during Saturday night's Nationwide race at Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Ill. While fighting for the 10th position, rookie Scott Lagasse went to the inside of Wallace in the first turn. Wallace did not give much room and wound up against the wall. What happened next is what makes Wallace such a special case.

Rather than head straight to pit road to repair his car, Wallace chased down Lagasse and swerved his car into Lagasse's car several times - without making contact. Wallace was penalized two laps. It was not his last penalty of the race. Wallace later incurred a one-lap penalty for flipping the bird at Lagasse's crew. Lagasse was eventually taken out by Brendan Gaughan - Wallace's teammate. Video after the jump.

Steve Wallace, 21, is the son of Rusty Wallace and drives for his team. Rusty said Steve will drive in the Nationwide Series for another year before making the jump to the Cup. That's probably a good idea.

I actually think Rusty's coverage of his son has been even-handed. But yeah Steve's a no-talent. He's five years from Cup, if ever, not 1.5. What's he got like 12 Top Ten's in his career in about 2.5 years total experience in decent if not top-notch cars.

Rusty shouldn't be in the both when his mentally stunted son is on the track. Steven Wallace is a hack who would be working at a minimart if his last name wasn't Wallace.
And who the fuck cuts his hair, The Tupperware Salon. I've seen down-syndrome kids who've cut their own hair looking better.

And don't compare him to KB...KB wins!
