STEPHEN  WILLIAM  "STEVE"  WALLACE   -   08/18/1987

was an American stock car racing driver.  A part-time competitor in the NASCAR Truck Series, driving the #97 Chevrolet for Adrian Carriers Racing, he is the son of 1989 Cup champion Rusty Wallace and the nephew of NASCAR drivers Kenny and Mike Wallace.  In 2005, he ran nearly the entire season in USAR Hooters Pro Cup competition.  He finished with three Top 10 finishes and qualified for the post-season championship series.  A day after Steve turned 18, he became the youngest winner at a Michigan International Speedway event in an ARCA race while driving a Penske Racing Dodge sponsored by Kodak.  He also finished 15th in his first NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Memphis Motorsports Park.  Wallace raced 17 races in the Top-Flite #64 Dodge Xfinity Series car in 2006.  For the 2007 season he would race full-time.  He won his first career pole at Bristol Motor Speedway.  Steve Wallace won his second pole on June 9 2007 at Nashville Super speedway in Lebanon, Tennessee.  His first career top five came at Richmond International Raceway on May 2, 2008.  At the beginning of the 

2012 season, he was without a car because of the temporary closure of Rusty Wallace Racing.  The loss of sponsorship was due in large part to Steve's driving and constant crashing.  Wallace made his Cup Series debut in the 2011 Daytona 500.  Penske Racing transferred the owner points of his #77, whose 30th place finish in 2010 guaranteed Wallace a start.  He drove the #77 Toyota, sponsored by 5 Hour Energy.  That is his lone Cup series start, and is currently without a ride in any division of NASCAR.  He has not raced in NASCAR since 2013.  Some info from Wikipedia
