RUSTY WALLACE TO COMPETE IN OFF-ROAD TRUCK RACE AT X GAMES

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- NASCAR Hall of Famer Rusty Wallace will briefly return to competition by driving in Off-Road Truck Racing at the upcoming X Games.

Wallace retired from NASCAR competition after the 2005 season, and has periodically been back in a race car, including a test session in Brad Keselowski's Sprint Cup car at Daytona in 2014.

But the X Games in Austin held June 5-7 will be the 58-year-old Wallace's first time competing in Off-Road Truck Racing. His truck will be sponsored by Jimmy John's.

The Off-Road Truck racing competition will feature identically-prepared 600-horsepower trucks, all leased from Robby Gordon.

The trucks reach speeds up to 120 mph and hit man-made ramps at multiple locations throughout the course. The Baja-style race trucks will negotiate the seven-turn course made of both dirt and asphalt.

Thanks to Planetrobby for the pic

Thanks for the pic Stadium Super Trucks

Love they gave him number 2
I love that too but that's a no-brainer. This is going to be a game changer for SST... NASCAR fans rejoice!! You can tell Rusty is pumped and is going to be prepared and is taking this very seriously. From the looks of the pictures it doesn't seem he's too worried about flying it

Robby to Rusty:
"So when you pitch it sideways your point of reference will be looking out this passenger window"

IMO, RGM gave Rusty a nice looking ride as well. Next should be lots of practice .....

+1

Rusty could practice Detroit ... 3 days of actual SST competition ... no better way to prepare him ... for the X-Games

I've got mixed feelings about this. Jimmy Johns is on my list of places to never do business with.
