“Rusty Wallace said he doesn’t plan to leave Roger Penske’s team, that reports he might want out of his contract so he can move to the Jack Roush or Robert Yates camp are ”just vicious rumors. It all started when Robert Yates started looking for a new driver and somehow my name got caught up in all that,” Wallace said. ”There’s nothing to it. It’s all bull. There was talk about Don Miller (the team manager) leaving at the end of the year, because he wasn’t feeling well, but he’s decided to stay another year. We’re not having any problems now. It’s just we’ve had seven engine failures. But the guys in the engine shop are busting their tails to get the problems
fixed.””(JournalNow)(8-30-97)
