Over the years, Kenny Wallace has built a reputation as one of NASCAR’s most colorful and well-known personalities. Kenny’s popularity continues to skyrocket due in large part to his TV appearances on NASCAR Drivers: 360 and the SPEED Channel’s “NASCAR This Morning” and “NASCAR Victory Lane.”

The youngest of the three racing Wallace brothers, Kenny was destined to follow his family’s footsteps. His father, Russ, was one of the Midwest’s most successful short track drivers, and his two older brothers, Rusty, now retired, and Mike Wallace, are also prolific NASCAR racers.

Wallace started his driving career in 1982, and won the Street Stock State Championship in Illinois in his first stint ever behind the wheel of a racecar. He honed his skills working on older brother Rusty’s racecars for a few years, but returned to driving by competing in the American Speed Association in 1986. He immediately found success by garnering Rookie of the Year honors. He landed his first Busch Series ride in 1989 when he was also named Rookie of the Year. Through hard work and perseverance, Kenny Wallace has worked his way up the ranks. He’s developed an impressive resume by consistently securing rides in the NASCAR Busch and NEXTEL Series.
