New spotter for Steve Wallace

[south jersey girl]

Maybe Uncle Kenny can help keep Steve out of trouble this weekend.  And I'm not trying to pick on Stevie...

This is from Nascar.com..
MOORESVILLE, N.C. -- In order to accelerate teenager Steve Wallace's learning process in the Busch Series, officials of RWI Racing announced Wednesday that NASCAR veteran and television analyst Kenny Wallace, the 19-year-old's uncle, will serve as the team's chief spotter and driver coach to his nephew for the remaining 2007 Busch Series events that serve as companion races to the Nextel Cup Series.

The elder Wallace drives the No. 78 Furniture Row Chevrolet in the Nextel Cup Series and also works on pre- and post-race programs on SPEED from those events.

There are many people in the garage who think Steve Wallace has potential. He bested more than 20 Cup drivers to win the pole for the spring 2007 Busch Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Wallace, the youngest full-time driver in the Busch Series however, is still working to gain valuable experience.

In his 10 full seasons in the Busch Series, Kenny Wallace set the bar for consistency. He finished nine of those 10 seasons ranked among the top-10 in the point standings and never finished worse than 11th. It is this consistency he hopes to add to his teenage nephew's skills.

"Steve is incredibly fast; there's no doubt in my mind that he's going to be one of the best out there," Kenny Wallace said. "We're a lot alike and we really get along. I totally think that having another racer on the radio with Steve is going to help him a ton and I'm excited about the chance to help him earn his first Busch Series win."

The younger Wallace was equally excited about the opportunity to work with his uncle.

"My uncle Kenny and I like to have fun together, but we're both really serious about racing," Wallace said. "He has gotten the job done for a long time in the Busch Series and knows better than almost anyone what it takes to get good finishes in these races.

"I'm really excited about having him on the radio with me for the rest of the year and can't wait to see how we do together."

The guy will talk your ear off...

In Kenny's very first Busch race, his brother Rusty was his spotter.  One of them.  The other?  Dale Earnhardt.  Kenny says that the two of them would argue over what he should do.  Dale would tell him to "drive it in there harder!" and Rusty would tell him, "NO!  Don't tear up the car!"  It was Earnhardt's car, but Ruty was helping to foot the bills.

I can just hear those two though, and imagine one frazzled rookie in the car.

Kenny, when he sees the wreck: "Wowee, look that at that! Dang! That's amazing! Oh, go high...never mind."

You forgot that famous laugh of Kenny's.

HaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hmmmmmm

Who owns that track?

Somehow, I think getting that boy a new spotter is like getting a blind man a new cane.   

It's 200 lap race Saturday night.  How many laps before Little Stevie Wonder is in a wreck (his fault or not)?  I'll say 75.

I'm feeling optimistic...I'll say 150

but I'm not picking on Stevie...I didn't say I wouldn't go fishin' with the man...

I didn't say I wouldn't go fishin' with the man...

I'm dyin' to know if that kid really is a relative.  That's one of the best commercials out there right now.

I keep meaning to ask, and I always forget.  I love that commercial!  As for Steve, I don't think I'd go fishin' with him either.

Wow. 

I missed most of the Busch race, and just saw the last 50 laps.  Much to my surprise, Steven Wallace ran 30th, two laps down.  Maybe he was in a wreck and just recovered, but from what I could see, the best in the business were spinning themselves out running up front and I didn't hear Stevens named mentioned.  It looks like Uncle Kenny calmed him down and kept his nose clean.  Good job.

Watched most of the race, and the only time I remember them talking about Steve was at the start of the race, when they were talking about Kenny being his spotter.  All the super stars were spinning.  Jimmie Johnson's first spin was beautiful...3 360's and never hit anything
