In his career, Wallace wasn’t particularly successful in the Cup Series. As a matter of fact, in 344 starts, he has only acquired 27 Top-10 finishes and no wins in the Cup arena. Most of his success came at the Xfinity level. With nine wins and a best finish of 2nd in the 1991 season in the Xfinity Series, Wallace prides in his passion for dirt track racing. Recently, he spoke of an incident that occurred to him a couple of years ago.

Kenny Wallace fired a warning at people who crossed him

He begins his unfiltered opinion with this: “I’ve taught the racing world a lesson, couple of years ago.”

“I showed up at the race track by myself and ran for the A-Main. Had Tony Jackson back me into the pits. Tony remembers that. They’re all staring at me, I said, ‘Let that be a lesson to all of you. If you keep it up, I’ll keep coming to the track by myself again.

‘Make you look bad because you got helpers. You guys think you’ve got one over me’. It’s like ‘Wallace coming to the track by himself’. I’m like, ‘Nope! You look bad because you got people with you. I’ll do it all by myself. Don’t test me’.

Wallace observed that many drivers were wrecking each other out at the speedway. As a result, he elected to stay away from the other cars and not be the next victim.

In the end, it paid off handsomely with a top-10 finish, and he was able to repeat the feat at the Lucas Oil Speedway too!
