In addtion to circling America's superspeedway with the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, Wallace works as an on-air personality for SPEED Channel on shows such as NASCAR RaceDay and NASCAR Victory Lane. He was also featured on the show NASCAR Drivers: 360 on FX. He has two brothers who are also current or former NASCAR drivers: Rusty Wallace and Mike Wallace. As a child, Wallace’s boisterous behavior earned him the nickname “Herman,” after a mischievous cartoon character named Herman the German. Last season, Wallace was voted in by fans to compete in the NASCAR Nextel All-Star Challenge at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. The rugged road warriors of the O’Reilly USMTS will be led into this Central States Region battle by Jason Hughes and Kelly Shryock, with the pair of rivals separated by just two points in the Central States Region.
