The 57-year-old NASCAR driver was with his wife and his daughter when three men approached him in the parking lot and knocked him unconscious. They began repeatedly kicking Wallace in the fact until his daughter — Lindsey Wallace Van Wingerdenon– jumped on top of him so she could block the blows.
The men then began kicking her.

Just awful. Not usually a fan of vigilante justice, but the police and courts cant (wont) seem to stop these punks. pic.twitter.com/GUpv2EqKJn

“I normally would not post personal affairs, 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 you’re trying to get in your car to leave the un guarded PNC amphitheater in Charlotte, NC parking lot after a good Rascal Flatts concert,” Wallace wrote.
“This is what I looked like after I was knocked out and crap beat out of me. The ambulance driver took this picture we were just supposed to have a fun night.”
“I want to thank my family and friends for helping to protect me from a worse beating as I [laid] unconscious on the ground.”
The three men were arrested and later released on bail.
