Should ESPN get rid of Rusty Wallace from the booth?

Question

Rusty Wallace is one of the greatest drivers of all-time, but he is probably the worst commentator ever.

He should be replaced with Dale Jarrett, because he is much better.

Answer 1

Oh you mean old "Crusty" himself?  Of course

Answer 2

Yeah, he's being replaced by DJ.

The thing is, Rusty's not the greatest of commentators, but I've never thought he was as bad as people say he is..

Answer 3

I disagree . . . Rusty is a good color commentator.  At least he knows what he's talking about . . .

Answer 4

No I think Rusty does a great job. I mean it is not like he sits there and only talks about his son(Steve Wallace) and David Stremme!

Answer 5

The only good thing about him is that he knows how a driver would feel at some moment or time in the race. That's pretty boring if u ask me...

Answer 6

He is being replaced by Dale Jarrett in the booth. Rusty will just be doing the pre-race show. They have already done it for a few races in the Nationwide series this year. It will be full time soon. I wish I could give you more dates but when ABC/ESPN take over the cup series coverage at the Brickyard Rusty will not be in the booth. Rusty is terrible.

Answer 7

Yes please dump him so I can watch the race with the sound ON instead of OFF - he just doesnt know when to stop talking!!  Kyle Petty does a good job too (different network I guess) but Dale Jarrett is much better than Rusty

Answer 8

Yes I agree Rusty isn't very good.  I think he is trying way to hard instead of letting it flow he is trying to push and be kind of obnoxious.  Dale Jarrett would be much better.

Answer 9

yes thank you i aint never liked him

Answer 10

most definitely

Answer 11

Indeed, show Rusty the door and bring in Dale Jarrett

Answer 12

YES!  It is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

DJ is a million times better!
