Do you know who this driver is? Nascar trivia 7 !?

Question

Ok after getting my hat (see avatar) blown off by Brian Vickers' qualifying run today....thought I add one more trivia question. I'll leave up to you guys and gals....if you want more trivia let me know...if not say so and I'll move on to other questions......here we go.....

Who am I?

I started my career in a "city" series

When I decided to go to CUP my then peers called me crazy.

I drove for a then and now well known team.

Many people thought I was from Pennsylvania But I am not.

After two rough seasons....I was hired by one of my childhood heroes.

But this hero let me go after 2/3rds of the season.

I bounced around alot...but found solid footing in a specially #'d 50.

I ran great in that car but once again fate handed me a cruel let go.

I bounced around again...never finding success in Nascar that I had dreamed of. Guess my peers was right?

I'm still in CUP racing to a degree, in fact my attitude can be explosive

My loud opinions get me in trouble with Nascar but they can't touch me. Who am I?

Answer 1

Yeah I think I'll go with Wally myself. Love the questions, keep them coming.

Answer 2

ill take Wally Dallenbach,  for 10 points  

Answer 3

Sounds a lot like Jimmy Spencer but thats not it. I don't know.

Answer 4

Wally's world Wally's world. He drove indy (city) cars, subbed for Craven when he got hurt at Talladega (?), Drove the Keystone car for Roush, drove for Richard Petty, and is a loudmouth that Nascar loves to hate. Am I right?
