Rusty Wallace To Hang It Up After 2005

Rusty made it official today. Ending months of speculation Wallace confirmed that he will retire from driving after the 2005 season. Rustly claimed that the death of Dale Earnhardt in 2001 took away a lot of his passion for the sport and strongly influenced his decision to hang up his fire suit. As for the future Rusty owns a Busch Grand National series team and will likely continue to have a role in the Penske organization. More details are available from Speed.
