Welcome to the Rusty Wallace Chevrolet Family
We're excited to welcome you to Rusty Wallace Chevrolet, where family means everything. Trusting us with your automotive needs makes you part of our family, and that gives us the opportunity to deliver an exciting and extraordinary experience.
Our Story: From NASCAR to Tennessee
Rusty Wallace Chevrolet is one of several eastern Tennessee dealerships owned by NASCAR legend Rusty Wallace. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Rusty eventually made his way to the racing circuit, where he built a reputation for his aggressive racing style and passion for life. Rusty set high expectations for himself, establishing a stellar work ethic that produced extraordinary results.
Throughout his near-forty-year career, Rusty raced almost 20,000 laps—the seventh most in racing history. Rusty's wins are even more impressive, with 55 Cup Series race wins, including a 16-season winning streak that earned him another place in NASCAR history for having the third-longest streak. His many other titles include 1984 Rookie of the Year, 1989 NASCAR Cup Series Champion, and an International Race of Champions win, wherein he made history as the first and only driver ever to win three of the four events.
Rusty's success on the track is undeniable, ultimately leading to his induction to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, the National Motorsports Press Association Hall of Fame, the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, and the International Motorsports Hall of Fame. As he approached retirement, Rusty looked for other ways to share his passion, eventually launching the Rusty Wallace Automotive Group and opening dealerships like ours. Today, Rusty plays an active role in our dealership, inspiring our values and customer-centric approach to exceed expectations to deliver the high-caliber experience every driver deserves.
Why Shop With Us?

We're the most trusted Chevrolet dealer throughout eastern Tennessee, and we're excited to show you why generations of drivers have turned to us to handle all their automotive needs.
Our Values and Vision
