Wally Dallenbach, Jr., 44, is one of America's premier road racers. From his humble beginnings as the 1985 SCCA Trans-Am champion to his 4 time wins of the prestigious 24 Hours of Daytona, Wally has earned the admiration of American racing fans by conducting himself as a gentleman, both on and off the track.

Throughout his career Wally has been sought by not only the top car owners, but by the sport's top sponsors, as well……and for good reason. Wally has totaled over 5 million dollars in career winnings. In 1999, Wally had numerous top five and top 10 finishes in The Winston Cup series behind the wheel of the Number 25 Budweiser car, owned by Rick Hendrick's championship team.

In 2001, NBC lured Wally away from full time driving and into the TV broadcast booth as NBC's expert on camera commentator. This year Wally will divide his time between professional driving and professional broadcast.

Growing up in Basalt, Colorado, Wally became an avid outdoorsman at a young age and has always been true to his roots. Throughout his high profile NASCAR career Wally has remained an active and effective voice for America's hunters and anglers.
