NASCAR Legend Mike Wallace Brutally Beaten Outside Rascal Flatts Concert

Beloved NASCAR driver Mike Wallace, brother of Hall of Fame star Rusty and commentator Kenny, was savagely attacked in Charlotte, NC, after attending a Rascal Flatts concert at the PNC Pavilion. The 57-year-old racer was beaten by three men in the parking lot as he left the show with his wife, daughter and son-in-law. Linsay Wallace Van Wingerden was also injured while trying to protect her father during the attack.

Mike was knocked unconscious, and later posted to social media from his hospital bed — where he described the disgusting attack to his followers. "I normally would not post personal affairs," he wrote, "but this is to help and give advice to our friends, do not ever talk to a group of now what appeared to be drunk or drugged up young adult men or women when your trying to get in your car to leave the unguarded PNC amphitheater in Charlotte, NC parking lot after a good Rascal Flatts concert. This is what I looked like after I was knocked out and crap beat out of me."

"The ambulance driver took this picture," added Mike. "We were just supposed to gave a fun night. I want to thank my family and friends for helping protect me from a worse beating as I layed unconscious on the ground. What’s worse is three of guys that beat my family up were arrested and out of jail before we got out of the hospital."

Kenny provided further shocking details, saying: “My brother Mike laid on the ground ‘knocked out’ and it was NOT even a fight and 3 men kept kicking my ‘knocked out’ brother in the face. Think about it? .. My brother was knocked out and they were kicking him in the face.” He added that his brother required 12 stitches inside of his mouth, and has since been released from the hospital.

Police have confirmed Mike's post about his alleged attackers being out of jail — saying that Nathan Lucas, Paul Lucas and Randolph Mangum (as shown, left to right) had all posted $1,000 bond and been released. Paul Lucas has an earlier charge of assault on a female, and was released on $1,500 bail. They face a July 22 court appearance, according to a spokesperson for the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office.
