Wallace still right at home in the fast lane

Former NASCAR driver Rusty Wallace was one of seven men inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America on Wednesday.

"I think my years in NASCAR were some of the best years NASCAR ever had," Wallace said. "Places were mobbed out and sold out and I was winning a lot of races. People say, 'You drove at a time when NASCAR was at its peak'."

Wallace, still hugely popular in NASCAR circles, made his debut on the top circuit in 1980 in a Roger Penske-owned car and joined the series full-time in 1984.
