Steve Wallace summoned to meet with NASCAR after Memphis race

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Rusty Wallace Racing driver Steve Wallace was summoned to the NASCAR Nationwide Series hauler to meet with officials following Saturday’s Kroger On Track For The Cure 250 at Memphis Motorsports Park after he allegedly ran into the side of Matt Kenseth’s car on pit road.

Wallace, who had spun in the closing laps after contact from Roush Fenway Racing’s Kenseth, drove down pit road after the checkered flag and ran into the left side of Kenseth’s car, witnesses said.

Wallace was then whisked to the NASCAR hauler before further incident.

Past incidents similar to Wallace’s have drawn penalties. If NASCAR decides to penalize Wallace, it likely would be announced Tuesday after the sanctioning body holds its competition meetings.

    it's like he has never gotten in to someone before if everybody he has spun out came down pit road and hit him Rusty wouldn't be able to keep him in a car. and he really needs to anyway! let alone try to take him up to sprint. they already have enough in that series that can't drive and living off Daddy's name and reputation

    Too bad Stevie boy. It's not like you have ever caused a problem. You are normally in over your head. The brain needs to be engaged before the car is put in gear. Remember, "rubbin is racin".

    I was amazed not so much at Little Stevie, because I could see it coming, but more at Rusty Wallace giving Kenseth a bad rep for doing it. Like has he EVER gone back to watch ANY of his past races, it was something he did on a regular basis. Rusty Wallace is now the biggest hippocrit in NASCAR!

    Like Father, like Son. They both need "Anger Management", if Smoke can do it, so can they. Steven is an accident waiting to happen, I've been saying that for a long time. If he loses points, that will drop him down in the standings, then maybe he will think twice before doing something stupid.

    Little Stevie probably didn't mean to do it! We all know that he can't drive a lick, and he was prolly just trying to get back to his hauler at the time, and wasn't watching where he was going.... I'm sure it's all Matt's fault! (LMAO)

    I agree #8 he is an accident waiting to happen, been saying that all along. Rusty needs to put him in his place and quit the "that's my boy" theory. He is going to hurt someone, he needs to be stopped before that happens. Rusty needs to think as an owner not as a father, give steve what he deserves, stop coddling him!!!!

    Thing that gets me the most is that Stevie tried to block Kenseth and thats what caused him to spin. Then to top it off Daddy had to start putting Kenseth down to cover for his little boy! Kenseth did NOTHING that Rusty OR Stevie wouldn't have done!

    Steven needs to watch his commercials before the race to remind him that nobody in his family likes crashes. He is over his head, but yet again there are a lot of expectations on these young kids, and the pressure has to be unbelievable. I think he would succeed more and faster if he got in another ride because another owner wouldn't be as tolerable as his dad.

    Steve Wallace needs to learn how to get the finish his car is capable of and to quit driving over his head. Take your fifteenth place home with your $23,000. $12,000 a week isnt bad for a kid his age. Would fifteenth place each and every week get him in the top five in points? Who knows? It would obviously save alot of cautions. Which by the way is the nickname I have given Steven Wallace. Caution Wallace!

    It becomes increasingly clear that Rusty Wallace does not belong in the broadcast booth.I can understand Steven's actions(lots of drivers lose their cool before they see the replays)but Mr.Wallce(the broadcaster?)needs to remain silent with his very much biased comments.Rusty may have been a decent driver but he leaves a lot to be desired as a broadcaster.

    Russel was one of the biggest whiners there was in racing BEFORE he got involved with Penske. Now that that relationship is no longer going on he has reverted back to his old ways. He needs to keep THOSE type of comments to himself. Oh by the way Steve is just as bad and can't drive a race car.
