ABC will pull Rusty Wallace off his NASCAR broadcasting gig to put him back in the booth at Indy this May, he told the Journal Sentinel. The 1989 Winston Cup champion also will return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in July for the debut of the ABC / ESPN portion of the Nextel Cup schedule. “I’ve got an opportunity this year to do what I don’t know that anyone’s done,” said Wallace, who worked the Indy Racing League telecasts last season. “It doesn’t mean a lot to most people, but to me it’s really important as a driver an now as a broadcaster that I can say, ‘You know what? I got to call the IRL, I got call the Indy 500, I got to call the Chase for the championship, I got to call basically all of NASCAR and I got to come back and call the Indy 500 again.’ “(Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)(2-5-2007)
