Mike Wallace announced he'd attempt the Daytona 500 at age 65. Ten days later, NASCAR says 'not so fast.' Here's the reason.

The article from MSN discusses the situation of Mike Wallace, a veteran NASCAR driver, who will not be participating in the upcoming Daytona 500. Despite his extensive experience and a history of racing in the event, Wallace has been unable to secure a ride for this year's race. The piece highlights his long hiatus from regular competition, noting that he has been largely idle since his last full-time season in 2005. It explores the challenges older drivers face in finding sponsorships and competitive seats in modern NASCAR, where younger talent and significant financial backing are often prioritized. The article also touches on Wallace's reflections on his career, his desire to race, and the harsh realities of the sport's business side, where opportunities for seasoned drivers like him are scarce.
