there were some rumors floating around on Wednesday that ESPN/ABC would replace Rusty Wallace as it’s analyst of the Busch and Nextel Cup Series races [to be Nationwide and Sprint Cup in 2008] for the 2008 season. All ESPN and Wallace sources have told me this is NOT TRUE and Wallace will return in 2008. From ESPN: “Rusty Wallace is our guy. We have a long-term contract with him. He’s the voice of NASCAR on ESPN.” NORBY WILLIAMSON – ESPN Executive Vice President, Studio and Remote Production.(10-17-2007)
