Rusty Wallace announced last week he will expand his NASCAR Busch Series operation to two teams in 2008. But what about Sprint Cup?
Wallace said Monday he would like to field Sprint Cup Series teams. However, his contract with ESPN/ABC forbids that, given the conflict of interest involved in commenting races in which teams he owns compete. Marty Smith, ESPN.com

Do you wish your hometown of St. Louis had Gateway International Raceway when you were beginning your career?
“Yes, I wish it had been there because it would have been the only big racetrack nearby to go run at and launch my career in NASCAR quicker than I did. Every driver would love a big racetrack to sprout their wings on and get into NASCAR quicker. Gateway is my home track and it carries the Wallace name in the grandstands. They gave me that honor when I retired in 2005.” RacingMilestones.com
