Rusty Wallace

This afternoon, I was given the opportunity to attend a talk by former NASCAR great, Rusty Wallace. Now retired from driving in the Nextel Cup series, Rusty keeps his hand in racing in at least three major ways. He owns the Busch series team and car his son drives. He's the main autosports commentator for the American Broadcast Company (ABC). He designed the new Iowa Speedway at Newton.

This afternoon, he shared a number of stories about his career, some of the memorable events along the way, and answered questions from the crowd. (I got to ask about his thoughts on the Car of Tommorrow.) Afterwards, Rusty set up an autograph and photo location and everyone that wanted one was treated to some kind of memento of the event.
