- Have you ever wondered what Rusty Wallace is doing these days? You will know after watching this video! Rusty and Steven Wallace are in here co running @SouthernCountryCustoms building these insane custom Harley Davidson motorcycles. Steven even does all powder coating in house inside this super neat cargo trailer shop addition. We get to see some of Rusty's favorite trophies in his office and hear some about the golden era NASCAR days. In the next video we head down to the former Blue Max Racing building where he has not been since 1991! Big thanks to @KennyWallace36 for helping these videos come together!

Coolest dad on the planet. Great to see family living life in the moment, together and happy.
Great to see Rusty and Steven's business thriving. It's obvious they love what they do. Rusty Wallace hasn't aged at all and still irons his jeans. After watching this maybe I can forgive him now for retiring before his time. #legend #bluedeuce
I miss watching him on road courses!!! He was the KING!!! 💯🤘🏼🤘🏼
That is awesome that he builds those beautiful custom Harleys and him and his brother actually works on them that is cool never to good to roll up his sleeves and do some work. And you know you made it in life when you can sign your helmet and give it to Rusty Wallace as a gift and he keeps it as a souvenir display piece.
Hell Ya ask to see everything at the museum!
Thanks again Stapleton!
Our pleasure!
Dude I cannot get enough of this NASCAR content! Its nice to know that I'm not the only NASCAR history nerd! Thank you!
Thanks dude we’re glad you’re here!
Man, Rusty is one helluva Dad. His love and support for his kids is easy to see. Rusty - making absolutely sure that his kids are set and taken care of. Of course, as is always the case, mom's the real reason for all.
I drank a lot of beer with Rusty and Sterling Marlin one night in Phoenix in the late 80's. I'm glad he hasn't changed at all. Great guy to hang out with.
Rusty helping Steven build bikes is easier on the budget than owning Steven’s race cars. Glad to see they are doing well.
It's so cool to see Rusty's true character and his inner passion come out.
I like to see the other side of older Nascar guys I grew up with.
Its good to see Rusty and Steven doing so well with their motorcycle business. Wasn't a fan of Rusty's back in the day but as he progressed through his later career, I respected his achievements and his business knowledge and his leadership in the sport, he knew more about the car setups more than most and he had a hand in a lot of that. Great to see Rusty doing something with his sons, I remember hearing him in an interview in the 2005 Daytona 500 pre-race, that he always wanted to enjoy what Dale Earnhardt didn't get to enjoy which was time with his family in his career after racing and this motorcycle business is their deal to for them to do that.
Another GREAT video! The Wallace brothers (and Rusty's sons,) all seem to have the same really friendly and overall nice attitude - all loving what they do and respectful of it! And again, you two do great interviews, with really interesting questions! Can't wait for the Blue Max episode!! 👍👍🙏🙏
Except for that time Mike Wallace said Bubba Wallace should be dragged behind a truck?
Rusty is awesome. Miss seeing him racing in NASCAR
So nice to see Rusty and Steve’s Southern Country shop! I have an autographed 1/24 car signed by Steve!
I just got lost in this video. Rusty was my driver really my idol as a young man. Got to see him win at Bristol in 2000. Seeing this filled in the blanks on him and Stephen. Thanks.
As someone who lost their dad when I was 23, seeing a father and son have such a fantastic relationship, makes me miss my pops and the times we had.
I'm so happy for them to be able to keep sharing those experiences together. Very heartwarming.
My dad an I were inseparable we had so much fun together. The crazy thing was him an my step dad were best friends not just in front of me but like back to back them against the world. He was taken from me when I was 12. I see dad's like rusty with his sons an think about how it could have been. So I know the pain is horrible. I still have my step dad an he is awesome it's just different because he works in the mill 7 days a week. Where my dad even took me to the shop or on the tow truck because it was his. Anyway sorry for rambling I'm sorry for your loss an God Bless..
@@stephenbowden1142 you too buddy. A good reason to take care of ourselves, so we can share life with our kiddos as long as possible.
Sorry for your loss at such a young age
It sucks.
I’ll share my dad.
He has a big enough heart for two children.
All these videos/documentaries of the drives and teams really take your viewers down memory lane. Keep up the great work in bringing us these stories.
Glad to see everyone pumped about custom motorcycle business. Sure we will see a follow up video at Sturgis. If Rusty needs a part time secretary/receptionist I can travel if needed(lol). Thanks for sharing.
Been a favorite of Rusty's since 88. An icon of Nascar! Met him twice, a true gentleman. He is the true meaning of athlete!
Awesome! Rusty was my driver and it's great that you guys had the opportunity to hang out with him and Stephen. Thanks for taking us along!!! Cheers!
Thanks of being here for it John!
Awesome video! The Wallace's are just a great family. Glad to see Rusty having so much fun these days.
I had no idea Rusty was into bikes. I was a big Rusty fan back in the day and happy he is enjoying this chapter of his life.
RUSTY WALLACE! MY FAVORITE DRIVER! WE ARE THE SAME AGE AND SAME NAME. MET YOU 3 TIMES. IT WAS A HUGE HONOR EVERY TIME. HOPE YOU REMEMBER SIGNING YOUR NAME ON MY SON'S OLD RACING HELMET RIGHT NEXT TO THE LATE DAVEY ALLISON. LOVE YOU BROTHER. I HOPE GOD BLESSES EVERY THING YOU PUT YOUR HANDS TOO. LOVE RUSTY &CHERYL CLARKE CHESTER/ENON VA.
God bless #2 and you another fine vid thanks for staying in touch with history of NASCAR
Thank you sir!!
Damn brother Eddy again from Myrtle Beach SC! I loved this , my man was Dale Sr. But Rusty was hell of driver and champion also ! Also , the fact the u and your better half come up with these contacts of famous people and show us the inside of their lives now just amazes me ! U going places my man and I’m telling u from a 50 year old father, u are awesome and I will continue to support ! The last live u did I got all fkup on how to donate super stickers stuff but got it figured it out now ! See u in the next one ! Take care guys ! Love this channel !
Thanks Eddy!! We appreciate you!
Fun part at the end where Steven gets a chance to show off his trophies and dad just lets him shine. Thanks guys!
Yoooo. This is cool. Rusty hasn't aged a bit it seems. They're building some sweet rides, glad to see the business thriving.
To answer your question about "should the we ask the hall of fame let us see Rusty's collection" I say Hell yes.
Again...Mitch and Logan thanks for this vid. Ill be looking for the vid where you visit the old Blue Max shop. I was there when Iron Horse Auctions held a sale. Picked up a variety of pieces but the most interesting thing was...I noticed two charts on a wall (one from 89 and other from 90 season)...had qual motor record, speed notes, etc...also race motor records fin8sh and comments. I figured they were Barry Dodson's charts. Iron Horse had not tagged them and when we got to that room I asked...auctioneer slapped stickers on them and started biddung. I bought them both ( I dont think others knew what they were, many there just hard core racers looking for parts...JD McDuffie was there, Buddy Baker, etc...). Anyway, a friend got me into a press conference before a Dirt ROC special noght at a local track...Rusty, Kenny, Geoff, Harry, etc there...I took them and showed them to Rusty ( he immediately exclained " These are Barry's notes !" ) and offered him them to keep ( thought maybe he would like to have them). He very graciously autographed them a told me to keep them. Ill try to send you pics of them...some great notes...especially from that 89 Cup Championship season. Thanks again !
That’s awesome! Would love to see that
Great story very cool, sure RWW got a kick out of that
Rusty and Kenny W. and Kenny S. are the best Missouri has. Hope to see your Kenny S. stories next.
When I worked for Snap-On they brought Rusty, Steven and the 66 show car to the plant for a company picnic. Nice guys got my 93 MGD Pontiac Model signed by Rusty. Great video
Thank you Ben!
Rusty seems like an awesome man!
Hi Rusty, great to see you!!! I have your Miller Genuine Draft shirt, you know how long I've had it! Loved your racing career wondered what you were doing these days. I'm a combat vet, 74 yrs of age, drafted in '67, paratrooper infantry. Happy you've got your life going so great after you quit racing!!! The best to you and your family!!!
Great to see Rusty. Always wondered what happened to Steven after he stopped driving the Busch Series. Thx!!
Your getting great access to the older guys I would have never thought Rusty Wallace would do an interview. Those guys were Nascar at it's best miss them including the cars.
thanks man!
Another really cool video y’all !!!
Thanks Clay!
This is so cool what Rusty Wallace is doing now after NASCAR
Awesome tour guys, Steven was a very underrated driver trying so hard to live up to his dads reputation which we all know is pretty tough when Rusty was one of the best.
Thanks Mitchell and Logan.
Steven came through about the time that it just became too damn expensive to operate a team.
He was always a contender to win and fun to watch but, also had a huge target on his back.
@@kurtfoulke5130
Exactly right, he has tons of talent and he’s a really good person. I’m glad he and his dad are so damn happy and loving what they are doing.
Stapleton, u guys are doing awesome! As a NASCAR fan for over 40 yrs. I have never given up on the sport. I have stuck with it. From its Darkest day until Now. I love what your doing for the sport. And for Old Fans like me. I miss these guys. One Saturday night this summer. You should roll up to Willard Speedway in South Eastern Ky. The Tri States Fastest 1/4 mile Dirt Track. We actually have the American All Star Series coming in a couple of weeks. Anyway…Bring a merch trailer and u will do well. Not to mention the absolute awesome content that u will be able to have access to. You will NEVER get as Grass Roots as Willard is. Investigate and u will know what I mean..😂 But u will never find a better more appreciative bunch of people anywhere. Thanks again for ur hard work! Keep ‘em comin!
Thanks man we are glad you’re here!
Some would say that now are the darkest days of NASCAR...I can't even watch a bunch of "woke" bullpucky...paranoid drivers calling a door pull a noose? I have a long memory, I don't believe in moving on until the matter is truly settled...it makes me sick that a Petty driver would try to make a racist issue out of nothing...that dude was the farthest thing from being "oppressed"...I have been called racist more now than in the 80s when I really did have an issue with non-white people...I realized that I really had an issue with "people" who weren't quality, not with all people in a certain group...when I ask why they think I'm a racist, the answer I get? You're white...uh huh...well thanks for making that clear as mud...sorry(not sorry) for the rant, but I needed to get that off my chest 😅
I have a long memory too. I’m retired from the Army. I grew up in eastern ky. I have been called a Racist more times than I care to mention. Just because of that fact. Because I have a deep Appalachian accent. Did it hurt me? Yes. Does it still hurt me? Yes. But I have let that go. Surely you can let that other deal go. Was it ludicrous? Yes. Did the majority of the country know it was a fluke? Yes. Was Bubba exposed to crazy amounts of pressure at the time? I would say so. The country was on fire at that time. It was just a product of the times. But calling this the Darkest time in NASCAR at a time when they are gaining momentum is completely ludicrous. Feb 18, 2001. (Which is my Birthday as well) Will forever be the Darkest Day/Time that NASCAR has ever experienced. Hands down. To think any other way is just bitterness and a Big reason why our country is in the shape it’s in. You ever watch Kyle Larson wheel a Sprint Car or a Super Late model? How bout Christopher Bell? Or Stenhouse? You gotta get past their dorky personalities and concentrate on the Racing!
Excellent show great coverage, all the best to you and your loved ones
Very cool! Rusty was a regular here and a track champion back in the last 70's. Tri-State Speeday in Pocola OK. Cool to hear they will be at Bikes Blue and BBQ this year in Fayetteville.
This is awesome. Rusty and sons into doing some serious customizing.
I love Rusty!!! HUGH FAN!!! Thank you Mitchell
Thank you Jason!
Love this vlog! Pulled for Rusty until he retired. Thank you for this tour❤
I'm really proud of Rusty letting Steven take the lead and run with it because all the years that I've known Rusty he always was the guy driving the boat and the thing about Rusty was his way was 99 percent of the time the right way and I mean he would be working on the his car and doing the entire setup form the rear end gear to the engine that's something you don't see in Nascar now a days hell even when Rusty was racing there was just a handful of guys that did that back then!
....and Rusty did not mention Blue Emu?! This is a fantastic piece. Thanks you to Rusty and his son for all of their time and thanks Mitch for doing this. Great Qs, great conversations by everyone.
I was never the biggest rust fan but he is a class act and one of the best too ever get behind the wheel no question that .and glad too see h8m enjoying life and family. Best of luck too him.🏆
Very cool video content! So glad you were able to get together with Rusty Wallace and see what he's been up to since he retired from racing. You & Logan sure do get some great videos put together, there with you both and you know your efforts are appreciated! 🙂😎
That is one nice bike shop that Rusty has put together, some nice rides in there. Not a huge H-D fan myself but it's OK, ain't what brand you ride, it's because you ride.🏍🏍I remember being at Sturgis in 1987, we got to break in the brand new dragstrip there at that time, trashed my back tire but it was a blast doing smoky burnouts!
Thank you both for a great video, always look forward to your posts, and saw the other one in the extra channel, great stuff!👍
Really neat video good to see Steven enjoying what he is doing! Rusty and family enjoying this time in life! Kinda funny they building Tony’s bike back in the day Tony wasn’t to kind with comments about Steven. We all say dumb thing and we get wiser with age! Keep up the good content and enjoy what you are doing!
Thanks man!
Another excellent video Mitch! So glad to see Rusty and his sons doing well and enjoying life after racing. Rusty was my favorite back in the day and though I'm not a motorcycle guy, the stuff they build is incredible. Thanks for the tour!
Thanks Jeff!
This is the shop tour I’ve been waiting for! I’ve followed RW since his ASA days. When Rusty retired it changed NASCAR forever. Great Video guys!
Rusty Wallace is still a class act !! I’ve always have been a fan !!!
Man, I've seen some sweet bikes b4 but DAMN, these are on a whole different level!! Thanks for showing this to the world, keep up the awesomeness guys.
Always been a fan of rusty and his brothers great people
They are great people
Steven Wallace is a master fabricator. They don't get any better.
Rusty has always been a perfectionist, that's why his office is so clean and the shop. That is one reason his race car was always one of the sharpest, cleanest cars at the track.
Great video/ interview ! I've been a Rusty Wallace fan since his ASA / Arca days . Good to see they are still having fun.
Awesome
Good to see everyone is happy
& life is thriving.
You find a Grove in life & this is so cool That family is doing this.
Strong bond.
I own a big matco Rusty tool box I work as a Auto Technician at a dealership in South Florida.
I'm so happy to see this video
So glad Rusty & family is healthy & strong work ethic.
There customer satisfaction is 100% loyalty.
Keep up the good work & videos
You are reaching out to so many
Love this.
Definitely a behind the scenes at the hall of fame would be awesome.
Another great video love seeing what all these legends of the sport are up to awesome.
👌👍👏🏁🇦🇺🏆Those bikes are just beautiful very talented great to see family working together 👏
I'm gonna ask hall of Fame next time I'm near it and stop in and ask to see rusty Wallace collection in the basement I bet tons of ppl are gonna go ask them now and they gonna say no and put up a sign saying don't ask about rusty Wallace collection in basement you won't see it thanks lol. Top notch craftsmanship on these bikes amazing work on them. And I understand what he meant every winter I would build or hang a beautiful brand new body with custom paint job on my asphalt street stocks or modifieds especially the dirt late model and modified you build a beautiful dirt modified or latemodel beautiful custom two and three tone paint jobs metallic flakes and candy paints and wet sanded and buffed the clear coat like glass and clear coat over all the vinyl numbers and lettering as well to make it look like it's part of the paint job and after first race night it comes home trashed like it's been through 10 races already scratched to hell and bake and dented up now at least with asphalt racing they come back looking good enough where you just buff out the marks and scratches from the rocks off the tires hitting the front bumper cover and just touch up all the chips and paint and looks ok but not the same lol
It's really cool to see what Rusty Wallace and his son's are up to these days. The motorcycles are incredible and I would love to see what other Rusty's Nascar collection he's got in the NASCAR hall of Fame basement
Great to see Rusty happy, enjoying life with his family and friends.
I’ve always loved Rusty!! Great to see him and family are doing well.
That was one very very cool video. It’s something I would of never seen if not for you guys putting all of this together. It’s like watching Rusty and Stephen at the track all over again. Thanks for sharing and putting it all together 🇺🇸😊
Our pleasure!
Rusty is awesome. I would love to see these guys come up to Thunder on the Strip in Geneva Ohio, like a mini Sturgis.
Ahhh so this is why on the live you said you 2 were not answering certain questions or responding to certain statements lol Rusty Wallace, Harry Gant, and Davey Allison were my favorite driver's from the best era of Nascar. Thanks 🙏 again for your awesome content that you share with us all. 😊
Thanks Wayne!
This is AWESOME! Love Rusty, best racer IMO .... and cool new gig he has. Thank you so much for getting this on video for us. And thank you Rusty for doing this for your fans :) Oh and the T-Shirt you sent me is super cool, getting lots of comments about it. If you do not have a Stapleton42 T-Shirt, Buy one! Very high quality and cool designs on the merch, buy you some ;)
Thank you David!!
3:00 DUDE YES! Rusty I managed to see him in NASCAR in the early 2000's before Brad took over so seeing his stiff would be amazing
Super video! Love seeing the passion people have and learning their story. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Cant wait for part 2.
Holy crap!!! This is awesome, back in the day I couldn't stand Wallace after he bumper my boy waltrip out at the Winston All Star. But as I grew older he's a very good person for the sport even post behind the wheel. Great pull for this one bruhh
I too was wondering what ol Rusty was up to. Very cool to see him and his family doing the bike thing. I grew up in a two wheel family as well. A lot of trips up and down I-95 to bike rallies, camp outs, and races.
Back in the day Rusty was one of the drivers I pulled for. Awesome to see him and his family doing well. I would love to do what they are doing. I own three Harley’s and love to ride.
Yes, most definitely need to get a HOF video. That would make for an awesome video, have a legend walk you through a hall of legends. I know Rick Childress is a busy man, but if you could get him to take you through there and get the history from him... 🤯
very cool,great looking shop, and bikes Rusty Wallace has always been top notch, thanks for sharing the video
Thanks jimmy we are glad you’re here 💪🏻
It’s so cool they build bikes. You can tell Rusty is proud of his kids. That big smile. I bet he wishes his pal (Dale)was still alive, so they could be drinking beer and riding bikes.
Mitchell and Logan awesome video. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks Roy!
That’s awesome great looking bikes Thank you 🙏
It’s so great to see Steven grow as a person. Lost my father when I was 24 yrs old and I feel I missed out on a opportunity to have a great relationship with him as we both grew older.
Back when I subscribed years ago because of the Escalade I never imagined you would be doing this. Totally amazing and I love every video. You guys need to go check out the hall of fame for sure! Thanks for the entertainment and education guys!
I would like to see them at the Lone Star Rally in Galveston. I’m not a fan of big wheel bikes but I definitely admire them for their passion and quality of their builds. Cool video!
It’s so cool to see you hanging out with these guys. I grew up watching them battling it out on the tracks and to see them now, it’s really cool. I lived in Jacksonville NC and Chapel Hill for a couple of years.
Two of my favorite things, Harley Davidson & the Wallace Family.
I worked with Mike & after the races, Rusty was very generous with Miller Brewing Company's beer 🍺
This fall I'm getting some dirt time with Brother Kenny.
Most people don't realize how good of a racer Rusty was - ASA to Cup.
55 Winston Cup point race wins - 9 from Bristol
Really relaxed informative interview...excellent editing and production value.
Busty...lol.. .back in the day he was kinda like the Jeff Gordon of his day except he came from an area where he was accepted anyways until he wasnt...but he as he said started winning so he got the pat on the back. Jeff Gordon's experience was the same if not better because of the wins ....he was ....a head shaker...like Earnhardt would do when asked about him. Anyways.. excellent production of 'Busty' race life. He mellowed with age and became very approachable towards his final years so.....well done RUSTY WALLACE AND CHEERS TO Y'ALL
This is awesome. The Wallace’s hold a special place in my ❤️ especially Rusty. So glad to see him happy!!
Kenny is turning out to be one hell of a resource... You two are crushing it!
Kenny and Mark Martin are the dudes thats for sure
Very cool, can't wait to see the next part, u guys are so lucky to be able to do what you do, blessed, thank you for the video
Thanks Brian!
Great video guys! Rusty is class all the way! Video production was very good also!
Thanks man!
the Infectious joy of these videos really grabs the watchers
I love rusty. The bikes are awesome.
In the days of The Intimidator, I'm proud to say I was a #2 Miller Lite fan. Haha what a great guy
Great video. Nice to see Rusty is doing well and working with family like that. The Wallace clan seem like nice people.
What a beautiful shop! Those bikes are insane!
I remember a video of Steven and Rusty years ago. Rusty was taking Steven to school and Rusty was telling him he needed to focus on school. Looks like he is doing well.
Thanks for sharing!
This is great!!!! Those are nice bikes!!!!!
I am so impressed with those bikes they are so badass probably some of the nicest bikes I’ve ever seen they are sick
Another awesome video! Always liked Rusty because growing up my mom was a huge fan of his, and all the Miller Lite #2 stuff around the house is what led to me ultimately pulling for Kurt Busch and then Keselowski when I started watching full time
We need a Rusty Wallace “ Black Magic” addition.
Great job love it. Thanks for sharing this.
How can you not like rusty? You can tell he is a proud father
You two are making great videos. Thought the world of Rusty. Video very well done
As a small time bike builder/painter it's nice to see such a nice bike shop. I'm willing to relocate lol.
Nice to Rusty and Steven miss them on the race track..... but WOW the bike are awesome 👌 💯
