Mike Wallace: Assault Victim in 2016
Lol
@@handsomedevil4928 nah lol
@@friesareyummy what? Are you seriously saying that Kenny isn’t swag? That’s a pretty funny joke. One of the funniest I’ve heard in a while.
"He defenetly can be a champion"
Oh how that aged very poorly
He won the wrecking championship in 2009
@@MoneylineMatt7 that's the GAYest kind of championship
*definitely. Spelling 101, dude.
2:23 Jon Wood, Steve Wallace and Kyle Krisiloff all mentioned within 15 seconds. It's like the Mount Rushmore of early 2000s NASCAR busts.
And they are all part of another generation of drivers
I’m surprised Rusty didn’t explode in tears watching his own son tear up his cars on the broadcasts 🤣
Well, yeah, he sounded pretty pissed off... and like you said, rage tears...
As far as im aware (take this with a grain of salt) during commercial break at IRP rusty was cursing up a storm about his son in the booth
@@DatAssIsCash Not suprising....
@@davidpeters2625 That's why I tend to believe it.
@@DatAssIsCash hey man.
Rusty: he has incredible talent.... that didn't aged well
That take was so cold you had to bundle up like you're going to Antarctica
He was correct. It takes talent to be that awful.
The Wallace family is nepotism at its worst
I mean Rusty was the only good driver of the family
@@emobassist Kenny Wallace : Am I a joke to you?
ITS NOT JUST A RACING DEAL!!!!! ITS YOUR RACING DEAL!!!!!
Man I miss Uncle Jimmy Spencer
We desperately need someone roasting drivers again
Hey was on Dale Jr's podcast a few weeks ago
I don't. I miss Steve Byrnes, though.
No lie when I was a kid, and watching Jimmy's crying towel segment was hilarious. 😅😅😆
Lmao, “He missed one!”
God Darrell's yay is such a cold move.
*proceeds to have 400 flashbacks of wrecking the week before*
When Mike Joy finds a driver he's tired of, the snark gets real. *Cough, Cody Ware, cough*
@@fubbaquestor Mike was one of the play by play guys who worked with Neil Bonnett when he was a broadcaster. Neil was hilarious (in a good way) and it probably rubbed off some on Mike.
Might as well miss that one wreck in the 500
Jimmy Spencer giving Steven Wallace the crying towel was the freakin best 😂
Rusty Wallace, Mike Wallace, and Kenny Wallace: have success in either wins and championships.
Steven Wallace: has success in nascar in wrecking.
Calling Mike's and Kenny's careers successful is a little much too. They have 18 wins between them and none in the Cup series.
@@theoriginalshew but they weren’t busts at least.
Mike Joy: He missed one!
DW: Yay!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love how the commentators try to find every goddamn excuse when he wrecks 😆
When your own father comments the races, he tries to save his son from some embarrasement...
Yeah but some of these seem like bad luck
I wish there's a driver expert commentator who was as blunt honest and unbiased as the late F1 driver-commentator James Hunt in NASCAR, no excuses, 'just stab it' kind of commentary.
@@RazorSharp75426 yeah
@@RazorSharp75426 Martin Brundle used to be like that, now i don't know.
In all those clips Rusty does a great job a not sounding too biased in Steven’s favor
Lmao I can still remember dying laughing when I listen to Jimmy Spencer talk about his driving 😂😂😭
Jimmy was the best. Not only telling the truth, but making it entertaining
Well, I guess that's where Chick Picks with Chick Hicks in Cars 3 got the inspiration from
@@Loaf_ve Yeah, he wasn't nicknamed "Mr. Excitement" for nothing!
I vividly remember Steve Wallace when he raced when I was a kid. 60,000 years later I am reminded of him. Thanks Darian!
These videos make us all realize how much we still miss Steve Byrnes. Especially on race hub and on race day
You know Rusty was yelling inside as he had to commentate his own son’s failure.
yeah that and watching his very own race cars get demolished
I think Brendan Gaughan was his teammate the last few years in Xfinity and was outrunning Steven on a regular basis. Basically how he got his ride with RCR in Trucks and Xfinity which lead to him winning at Road America and Kentucky.
Everyone wanted to sponsor Gaughan, no one wanted Steven so the team shut down
@@needsmetal Gaughan was a great choice due to the family South Point Casino sponsorship.
@@perriello66 with Rusty he had other sponsors footage the bill, ones that wouldn't pay for Steven either
Straight from Racing Reference…
2009: Steven ahead of Brendan in points (7th to 9th), more Top 10 finishes (9-8).
2010: Steven ahead of Brendan (10th to 11th), and more top 10’s again (13-9)
Also, Steven finished in the top 10 in points 3 times.
There was talent, the problem was it couldn’t be fully corralled, be it because Rusty’s equipment wasn’t top notch with Cup backing, or all those Buschwhackers coming in to take half the grid up, and Steven felt he needed to do more than the equipment could handle.
I believe Steve Wallace's racing career has come to an end.
If I'm not mistaking, he sold off his equipment when the 2019 season concluded.
Yep. Sold entire super late program
He builds custom motorcycles now. Rusty helps
You mean Rusty sold off his equipment. It was always Rusty's dime.
I honestly think Steven had talent, he would be running pretty well sometimes (consideringthe his team was midpack) only to make a boneheaded or over aggresive move and crash, had he learned to race cleanly and more patiently he may have had better results
He was also incredibly young, he left the sport when he was what 23 years old? It would’ve been interesting to see if MAYBE he could develop into a decent Truck/Xfinity driver
Townley had talent, too. Impressive saves and even outperforming his given equipment. He also won a race, albeit with fuel-milage. However, it does take talent to get a fuel-milage win, albeit not much. He was also a criminally underrated Superspeedway racer, having ARCA wins at those tracks and had great Truck Series runs at those tracks. I can't wait until I get bashed for typing this.
@@Austin_Windric yeah it’s just a shame that people don’t remember that about him, and same with steven
Agreed. Steven had talent, he just came up in an era that was especially brutal to young drivers in the Busch/Nationwide series.
He was a bit wreckless, but I also do wonder what happens if Buschwhacking wasn’t a thing. Maybe he doesn’t have a godly Cup career like his dad, but he’d probably have the Todd Bodine or Kenny Wallace kind of career, where he might see some years in Cup, but has a solid career in lower series.
100% He never could calm down and keep his car in one piece. Always reaping vengeance from his maligned fellow drivers. Bonehead
Trying to find the race where Steven wrecked someone and the guy he wrecked said, "Was that a racing incident, Rusty?"
Watching that bit with Jimmy Spencer, we definitely need more people like him giving their thoughts on NASCAR, the drivers, tracks, whatever is going on in the sport.
3:15 Cale Gale, another name we all forgot
CALE GALE WINS WHOOOO - michael waltrip
@@Jeff.3 I totally forgot he had a truck win
"He's got 2 first names"
He won in Homestead 2011 against Kyle Busch.
Jason Jarrett he wrecked alot to.
There's also that one time where Steven Wallace wrecked his uncle Mike Wallace
And Mike got really mad.
I don't know how Rusty didn't go broke constantly repairing Steven's cars
he did RWI shut down thanks to that waterhead son of his
despite steves rough racing career. he actually designs very expensive high end motorcycles. some of them look very amazing. i feel like most of his clientele must be rich guys around nascar and celebs. cuz his bikes are really outrageously priced. he must be doing ok.
No wonder hes pissed, a lot of these werent even his fault. Just because hes a hothead doesnt mean he cant drive.
yep its obvious but they go down a rabbit hole on a few mistakes... welp theres about 100,000 driver mistakes weekly worldwide ...give them a kleenex for when these righteous shitty comment creators make a mistake.
He can't drive.
Reminder that in 2009, someone on Racing Reference said that he would be the 2018 Cup Series champion 😂😂
Oh how poorly that aged
Link. Now.
/comments?drvid=wallast01
Fascinating installment of NASCAR Busts!
Been waiting for a long time and it's well worth the wait. It made me know more about his career and why he became a NASCAR Bust.
14:17 it's times like this where I miss Jimmy Spencer.
We all Miss Mongo
Man that old NASCAR Race Hub set was SUPER underrated. I miss that set a lot…..
At least the 2 years 5 Hour Energy extended Steven Wallace's career gave us some of his biggest wrecks!
Steve Wallace was the driver of the 77 5-Hour Energy Toyota 6 years prior before Erik Jones
And kill 3 teams 😁
I always rooted for Steven! One thing I always remembered was yes he wrecked a lot but a lot of the accidents were not his fault in this video you put out somewhat proved it! There was a lot of accident shown in this video that we’re not his fault! Some where don’t get me wrong! I do love the Dale Jr story he told that he was basically blacked out drunk and couldn’t get home from a party so Steven drove him home!
Do u got link
@@bigshitty4956 On the dale Junior story? No he mentioned that on the podcast like a year or two ago
@@scottleeper8332 that podcast is awesome
Rusty Wallace: intense rivalry with Dale Earnhardt for years
Steve Wallace: exist
Sbinnala Steve
Another young driver with a lot of raw talent who got pushed through the lower divisions way too quickly.
BFM bell gang
OOH I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE!
In defense, Steve didn't just win in every series until he raced a few races in ARCA and the Busch Series full-time, he won Championships in every division. He still races and wins back on the short tracks.
Gotta admit that 5 hour energy scheme is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
5 hour energy is a team killer: Rusty Wallace, Michael Waltrip Racing and Furniture Row dissapeared.
@@realbaron5714 Harry Scott Motorsports
@@TheLocalLt Yeah
@@TheLocalLt Yeah
The soundtrack of this video being Rusty in the booth for 3/4 of Steven’s wrecks is gold.
That clip with Jimmy Spencer... I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣
Those ARCA Brakes he did at IRP with Rusty commentating is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in NASCAR
I remember working with Gilly that night in Charlotte, hearing that "Oh, come on man.....", so many guys absolutely raged at us that nite. Lol
"the number one rule of stock car racing is to learn how to wreck someone without wrecking yourself"
That's what I'll always remember Danica Patrick's NASCAR career for, when she broke rule number one of stock car racing lmao
Poor rusty commentating those races lol. Even he was like wtf are you doing and seem to try to distance himself like "i dont know him hes not with me" 😆
lmao
Future uploads: Gone Too Soon: Scott Brayton and What’s Next For Chip Ganassi.
Being rusty was my first favorite driver when I started watching in 89 until he retired I had high hopes for Steve
It's funny that Jimmy Spencer is talking about Steven Wallace's driving,Spencer drove for two of the best teams in NASCAR and only managed to win two MENCS races his entire career(with a car that was far from legal).
Spencer was far from a title contender but he never drove for “two of the best teams in NASCAR”. He drove for Junior Johnson right as they started their decline, Travis Carter who was a great crew chief but a mediocre team owner, I’ll give you that year at Ganassi where Sterling had a great year while the highlight of Spencer’s year was his feud with Kurt Busch, but after he got fired from there he only drove for Jimmy Smith and then did a little Truck series before retiring. So he really only had one season (2002) in top notch equipment in his Cup career.
"He missed one!" - Mike Joy, 2011
I miss 2007-2012 xfinity series, seems like when nationwide was the title sponsor everyone wrecked each other every week, there was never a shortage of drama.
I start watch NASCAR in these years, I miss those times 😢
me to thats when i started watching
ricky stenhouse austin dillon kyle busch carl edwards brad kevin harvick nice times elliott sadler
14:16 I friggin' love Jimmy Spencers crying towel bit back in the good ole days of the speed channel. The crying towel was friggin' hilarious everytime. So many hurt feelings lmao 🤣😂🤣😂
Cool to see my home track in the video. Cars Tour at Orange County Speedway. Great series, definitely something you should check out. Also has some up and coming drivers like Layne Riggs and Carson Kvapil. Drivers like Sam Mayer, Josh Berry and Ty Gibbs also raced on the series.
I'll just never understand how in the world someone can do so well in 1 series, but just become a crash magnet in another series. BTW, Jon Wood would be another great person to do a bust video on!
17:27 Mike Joy has no chill 😂😂😂
And you thought the Steve Park video was overdue.
Your videos are so good man!! Idea for a series!! Maybe track by track, who has dominated the most? Some drivers definitely circle their calendar for the tracks they think they have a good chance of winning at!
I remember his wreck at Indianapolis raceway park in 2011 the commentators tried so hard to defend him and say he got hit. But as the replays showed it was not the case as he drove straight into the wreck
You never disappoint Kid. Great Video
Can we get a Bobby Hamilton Jr. Driver Busts?
Thanks for the video Darian, this video should’ve been made 2 years ago.
Maybe you can talk about the inaugural Truck Series race at Daytona (2000 Daytona 250)
I'm surprised this video hadn't been made yet, in all honesty. Better late than never I guess!
I wanted Steve to do well, since I cheered for Rusty as a kid, but my god was he a highlight reel for all the wrong reasons.
Rusty Wallace Incorporated (RWI) was an interesting team for about a decade. It's a shame it doesn't exist anymore
The Success of the Wallace family sadly skipped a generation
Even so, Rusty hogged a lot of that talent
@@johnboy4025 Hey dont take anything away from Mike and Kenny
@@johnboy4025 Just because they had horrible Cup careers dont make em a bust
It did with the Pettys. That's why people had so much hope for Adam being the next biggest star in NASCAR
I feel like if he had gone through the ranks with one or two full time seasons in Arca and a few in trucks at least that he would’ve been a much better driver
I’ve been waiting for this one
The story Rusty told of Steven flushing a lit firecracker in the toilet, in their house. IQ let that sink in. 🤣
(Hums Jimmy Spencer's crash song he sang that one time on race hub after Steve Wallace wrecked at irp)
Jimmy Spencer made the whole thing hilarious 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
"he missed one, yay!" At the end xD
Another great video
I think you forgot Steve Wallace's Michigan crash on lap 1 in 2008
Another banger man! 🤘
"He crowded me" yeah, that move Wallace tried to make at the hairpin at Circuit Giles Villeneuve
when rusty was calling the race and said: unbelievable.. i think we all felt that. lol. idk if you mention this in vid later but steve designs super high end motorcycles now.
Steve Wallace reminds me of Brendan Fraser when he played as the brainless basketball player in Bedazzled.
I'm also quite surprised Rusty hasn't disowned his son from all the repair costs and the other money Steve wasted from his dad.
Yes I thought that too
Ah the one I've been waiting for!
3:25 Cale Gale
Me: I haven’t heard that name in years
It’s literally like everyone wanted to wreck him. A large percentage of these were completely avoidable if the guy who wrecked him, didn’t WANT to wreck him. Also, most of these wrecks involved other busts. It’s a video of busts!
Realizing that Steve’s car owner was Rusty and listening to Rusty comment on Steve’s crashes as an analyst on ESPN makes me laugh
I vaguely remember Rusty commenting about how much money the wrecks were costing him.
Lol @ he missed one. Freaking Hilarious…Epic
Steve Wallace career remodeled
USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series (2005)
ARCA (2006)
Truck series (2007-2009)
Nationwide Series (2010-2013)
Cup Series (2014 onwards)
He’s not that bad of a driver as most people think. He had 3 top 10 finishes in points, his best being a 7th in 2009.
How about NASCAR busts: Kevin Swindell, Reed Sorenson, or David Stremme?
Leave Swindell alone. He was Steve Park 2.0 in that a unfortunate injury cost him a great career. Had his paralysis not happened, he’s in Cup right now
I think Stremme is the second most requested one after Steven. I remember Stremme lapping the field in an ARCA race one year.
Well, Swindell in NASCAR, not dirt cars, he failed to find success in NASCAR compared to a legendary career on dirt.
Nice!! 🔥🔥
The best part of the whole video was the end when Mike Joyce said look at Steven he missed one that was the best part
Not gonna lie a lot of these looked like he had a lot of a bad luck.
Agreed.
Jimmy Spencer is Chaotic good and we all miss it
totally agree that a year or two in arca woulda done wonders for him.....that burnout he did at i think kentucky was the best ive ever seen. but he wasnt ready for BGN, his equipment and team was better than he was at that point. He always came across as a guy who was trying too hard...and if he'd had a couple years with bad equipment where he just had to worry about finishing...and not worry about his finishing position i think the kid woulda turned out pretty good. i mean seemed like he finished 8-12th every time he finished...just didnt finish a lot......he caused a lot of wrecks...but got caught in a lot of wrecks not of his making too.
....on a side note...Rusty Wallace Racing had Jimmy Johns, and 5hr Energy as sponsors at different times....and lost em to cup teams...which has gotta hurt
cant ever forget steve hitting EVERY FUCKING CONE on the way out of a spin
Jimmy Spencer 😂😂😂
Good Seasons: Kevin Harvick 2001
I was thinking of this and the bad seasons of harvick 2002
I wonder how many times Steven Wallace wrecked when his dad was commentating.
I dont watch nascar, but your channel is mint.
5 Hour Energy sponsored him just cause they knew he was gonna make the crash replays every single race! 🤣
3:33 Gee Rusty, ya think? Thanks for that clarification
Man, this woke up memories I really tried to forget lmao. I really don't know what makes me more uncomfortable, DW Calling Michael's race, or Rusty calling Steven's races. It's like a train wreck, it just keeps going and you can't look away.
At first, I thought he wasn't a bust. Because he had 34 top 10s in 194 starts and finished top 10 in the points 3 seasons in a row. But then found out that he had more crashes than top 10s.
Steven taught Danica Patrick to drive.
When Jimmy Spencer on the Racehub show....oh boy....poor Steve Wallace😂😂😂 i think Spencer gave him the crying towel like for ever man😂😂😂
“He crowded me”
Bro was literally sliding sideways over the apex curb completely off the track
