Rusty Wallace is a retired driver.

Biography
Wallace has an extensive career in stock car racing. The 1989 NASCAR Winston Cup Series champion, he has 55 wins at NASCAR's highest level.

In his Cup Series debut in 1980, Wallace finished second for Penske Racing. He started racing full-time in 1984 with Cliff Stewart Racing before moving to Blue Max Racing in 1986. He remained with the team in the No. 27 car for the next five seasons, winning 18 races and the 1989 championship.

Wallace moved to Penske in 1991, driving the No. 2 car. Although he never won another championship, he proved to be successful nonetheless, finishing in the top-ten in points every year from 1993 to 2002. In 2004, Wallace won his 55th (and final) race: the 2004 spring Martinsville Speedway race. On August 30, he announced that the 2005 season would be his last. He ended his career with a 13th-place finish at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Afterwards, he moved to ESPN and became a color commentator for NASCAR races. He lost his role when ESPN's contract ran out following the 2014 season.

Stadium Super Trucks
In April 2015, Wallace tested a Stadium Super Truck and announced his intention to compete in the series' X Games Austin round, driving the No. 2 Jimmy John's truck.

"I honestly miss driving a car a little bit," Wallace stated. "ESPN brought up this possibility and I thought, 'Why not? Let's go knock the cobwebs off and try this.' I know that I stopped driving too early. I think I could have gone another three years.

After finishing last in his heat race, Wallace was relegated to the last-chance qualifier. During the LCQ, Wallace rolled his truck, but continued running; he would finish sixth in the event and failed to qualify for the feature.
