Furniture Row Racing, a Denver-based Nextel Cup Series racing team, announced today that Kenny Wallace is stepping down as the driver of car #78. Officials for the team have stated that Wallace will remain with the team as a consultant and will be called upon to run races as needed, but that he will also be available to drive for another team. Joe Garone, Team Manager for Furniture Row Racing, said: "Kenny has been the perfect driver for us as we have looked to his veteran experience during our first year-and-half in the Cup Series. His personality has brought much positive exposure to the team and to Furniture Row Companies, the team¹s owner and sponsor. This has included winning the fan vote to participate in this year¹s All-Star Challenge events." Looking at the remainder of this season, officials for Furniture Row Racing have said that they will be intensifying efforts to fine tune their performance in preparation for next season¹s run. Wallace added: "I've enjoyed my run as the primary driver for Furniture Row despite all the challenges of a new team. I look forward to helping them as they move forward in building a program that will be competitive for many years to come."(Furniture Row Racing PR)
 
In my opinion, all that Kenny has given here is his personality. I've never been on to give Kenny kudos on his racing ability. I've kept track of him since he first went to the Cup series. He did so the same year that Jeff Gordon and Bobby Labonte did. Now, it looks like Bobby could be on his swan song in the Cup series and Jeffy has four titles and is working on his fifth. Kenny has yet to win one race in the top series but has been given plenty of chances from a variety of teams.

Kenny's greatest asset is his personality, not his driving ability. His place in racing is definately in the media.
