On January 25, 2006, it was announced that Wallace would cover [[auto racing]] events for ESPN and ABC. Despite Wallace's lack of open-wheel racing experience, his assignments began with the [[IndyCar Series]] and included the [[Indianapolis 500]] (in a perhaps forgivable lapse, he described a thrilling battle on the last lap as "The most exciting [[Daytona 500]] ever!"). He joined the NASCAR broadcasting team for both networks when they started coverage of the sport in 2007.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20060125%2FSPORTS01%2F60125024 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2021-04-23 |archive-date=2015-09-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924044338/http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20060125%2FSPORTS01%2F60125024 |url-status=live }}</ref> He signed a six-year deal with [[ESPN]] in 2006. He returned to commentate for the [[2007 Indianapolis 500]] won by [[Dario Franchitti]]. He co-hosted ''[[NASCAR Angels]]'' with [[Shannon Wiseman]]. Wallace worked with ESPN from 2007 to 2014 until their contract with NASCAR expired.

Since the 2015 Daytona 500, Wallace has worked with [[Motor Racing Network]] as a booth announcer.
