Rusty Wallace and His Wife, Patti Wallace, Are Parents to Their Three Kids, One of Whom Followed in His Footsteps!
Rusty Wallace has been married to Patti Wallace since the late 1990s. They share three children: Greg, Katie, and Stephen Wallace.
Nonetheless, legitimate information about their relationship timeline and offspring remains secret.
Unfortunately, besides the brief acknowledgment and her introduction as Rusty’s wife, little to no information about Patti is available online.
Needless to say, kudos to Patti, who has successfully concealed details despite rigorous online scrutiny. The former racing driver also rarely talks about herself online.
That said, she has made several public appearances with her star husband, Rusty, in star-studded events, including the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series Awards Ceremony.
Their daughter Katie Wallace is married to her Colby Bankston, and the couple are parents to their two kids.
A graduate of Wake Forest University, Katie now resides in Charlotte, North Carolina. She has been working at GreerWalker LLP since 2015.
Their son, Greg Wallace, a Hampden-Sydney College alum, is the vice president of Rusty Wallace Inc. He is also a Pilot and addresses himself as “Space Geek” on his social media bio.
Similarly, Greg is also a married man and a father to a son. However, details surrounding his wife aren’t easily accessible.
Whereas Rusty’s youngest son, Steve Wallace, followed in his footsteps, which didn’t come as a surprise. The 37-year-old is a stock racing driver who has solidified his name in the racing world.
Steve has competed in all three of NASCAR’s national series, including Cup, Xfinity, Truck, and the ARCA Racing Series.
He won the prestigious Snowball Derby in 2004 and has claimed several championships in super late model racing.
Despite his success in the lower-tier series, Steve has faced challenges in breaking through at the top levels of NASCAR. His best Cup Series finish was 57th in the 2011 Daytona 500.
Nonetheless, he continues to race in super late model events, showcasing his utmost passion for the sport.
