Rick Santorum's Wife Sued Doctor For $500,000 In 1999
"If you don't have heartfelt sympathy for Rusty Wallace, you must be a robot."I must be a robot, because I don't feel this heartfelt sympathy for Rusty "I'll tell ya what" Wallace ... Not because "his heart has to be breaking inside as he watches his son grow on the track." At least not this week.

I snoozed through most of the Busch race Saturday, but I did manage to catch the first caution brought out by Steve Wallace ... And yes, my first thought was, what a surprise ... And by then, ESPN had already overdosed me on the Wallace family outing, so I figured I was going to be annoyed with just about anything Rusty was going to have to say about his son's crash. He did not disappoint.
First, he went off about how Steve's been having nothing but problems at this young age, trying to get these cars going, trying to understand them. Had a crew chief change last week to make the performance better, but that doesn't seem to have helped so far ...
Then, they found out Steve crashed because the brakes went out on the Rusty Wallace Inc. #66 Dodge.
Nice one, dad.
I'll tell ya what ... I'm just not a fan of Rusty in the booth. Especially not when he's calling a race with family members and supercalifragilisticexpialidociously not when his son is racing, which is all of them so far. He flat out dissed his kid's performance and had the nerve to say the crew chief change hasn't helped yet ... five laps into their first race together! Where's the heartfelt sympathy for Steven for having to put up with his dad?
No sympathy for Rusty here. Besides, Steve is holding his own in the 18th position in his first full-time season, with 11 full-time Nextel Cup drivers ahead of him. Yeah, there's room for improvement--and Steven does have more than his fair share of bad breaks--but it's not time to get out the box of tissues just yet.
I do wish that Rusty would be shifting his efforts towards his NASCAR team ownership and his son's career rather than broadcasting, instead of the other way around. But I'll bet ESPN pays better.
