Kenny Wallace Claps Back At NASCAR Reporter After ‘Controversial’ Comments About Brother Mike

Kenny Wallace has hit out at sports reporter Nick Bromberg for his “negative” comments about Wallace’s brother Mike’s plan to qualify for the 2025 Daytona 500 with MBM Motorsports. Mike Wallace has had a long career in NASCAR, having participated in 197 Cup Series events and making 497 starts in the Xfinity Series. He has raced in the Truck Series too, even snagging a win at Daytona International Speedway in 2000 and another victory in the Xfinity Series in 2004. The last time he raced in the Cup Series was almost ten years ago, but he kept active in the Xfinity Series up until 2020, though those races didn’t see him finishing at the top. Wallace’s return to racing is a personal mission, motivated by personal challenges and loneliness following the passing of his wife last year. He says this opportunity helps him regain the thrill and excitement he’s been missing.

 

Wallace’s announcement drew mixed reactions from the public and media, primarily due to his age and the years he spent away from competitive racing. MBM Motorsports, the team behind Wallace’s attempt to qualify, is led by Carl Long, who stands firmly behind Wallace’s capabilities. The team hasn’t competed in the Daytona 500 since 2020, failing to qualify in both 2021 and 2022. Despite these setbacks, MBM Motorsports is confident, banking on Wallace’s past success at superspeedways to see them through.
