Rusty Wallace: Race
built 290 days ago
Wallace really started gaining national attention in 1989. He captured the checkered flag in The Winston all-star race and added 6 more wins and 20 top-10 finishes in 29 events. Wallace won the 1989 NASCAR championship, beating Dale Earnhardt by just 12 points for the honor.

Wallace finished second in his first NASCAR race at Atlanta in 1980. Wallace joined the Winston Cup circuit full-time in 1984, winning NASCAR Rookie of the Year honors and finishing 14th in the final points standings. He raced in the #88 Gatorade Pontiac for Cliff Stewart.

After a hilarious introduction by his brother (complete with impersonation of fellow racer Ward Burton), Rusty took the stage. As he surveyed the room, he spoke about the intrinsic values of Scouting – the skills and values it teaches today’s youth, the way that those values follow through to adulthood. After his speech, he handed out recognition plaques to the top donors and then moved on to dinner — some scrumptious barbecue, donated by Cox Wood. All the while, I was wondering what would motivate this superstar of the racing world to fly to a small town to spend an evening meeting and greeting at a fundraiser, when I found myself in the barbecue line with Rusty, I took the opportunity to find out.
