Early racing

Between 1998 and 2002, Wallace raced in INEX

In December 2004, at the age of 17, he won one of the biggest short track races in the country, the Snowball Derby, in Pensacola, Florida, a race Rusty and Kenny both entered, but failed to win in their careers. Steve was also the 2004 UARA Rookie of The Year. He won the first ever late model race at Bristol Motor Speedway

.

In 2005, he ran nearly the entire season in

Memphis Motorsports Park (after starting 11th). Wallace became part of the Dodge

Nationwide Series

Wallace raced 17 races in the #64

Penske Racing car. Wallace won ARCA races at Michigan International Speedway and Kentucky Speedway

, and had a best finish of 11th in the Busch Series.

For the

. Before the conclusion of the 2007 Nationwide Series Season, it was announced that Wallace would be switching from Dodge to Chevy for the 2008 Season.

His first career top five came at Richmond International Raceway on May 2, 2008.

At the beginning of the 2012 season, he was without a car because of the temporary closure of Rusty Wallace Racing. After missing the first six races, he announced that he would make his first start of the season at Richmond International Speedway during the

Virginia 529 College Savings 250.^[3]

Sprint Cup Series

Wallace made his Cup Series debut in the 2011 Daytona 500. Penske Racing transferred the owner points of his No. 77, whose 30th-place finish in 2010 guaranteed Wallace a start. He drove the No. 77 Toyota to a 20th-place finish.

Super late model career

After his NASCAR career ended, Wallace began racing

Fairgrounds Speedway in 2018, Wallace was parked early in the race for wrecking Mason Mingus and later fought with Mingus and his Wauters Motorsports team. After the fight, Wallace said that the incident was one worthy of the beginning of a war.^[5]
