Police said they believe Mark Tharpe, 25, attacked Steve Wallace, 19, on a street in Broad Ripple late Sunday or early Monday, beating him and kicking him in the face.

Wallace, the son of NASCAR legend Rusty Wallace, finished 17th in the Kroger 200 Busch Series race at Indianapolis’ O’Reilly Raceway Park on Saturday.

Police didn’t comment on a motive for the attack on Steve Wallace, whose father was part of ESPN’s broadcasting crew for Sunday afternoon’s Allstate 400 at the Brickyard at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Steve Wallace declined treatment for his injuries.

Tharpe was being held in jail Monday afternoon with bond set at $15,000, 6News’ Jack Rinehart reported.

Thanks WCG!

That brute should be happy he’s not in jail down south! Gotta wonder what motivates that kind of trash.
