Herman shown the door at Furniture Row.

Hugely popular veteran driver Kenny Wallace has parted company with the #78 Furniture Row Racing Nextel Cup team after nearly two full seasons trying to get the single car outfit into the top 35 in Nextel Cup owner points.

The Barney Visser owned team has been one of the more successful single car start-up operations of the past four or five seasons with Wallace at the wheel but despite the best efforts of the driver/TV presenter, the only Colorado based team in the highest echelon of Cup Series racing have never made it out of 'go or go home territory.'

Current Richard Childress Racing Busch Series driver Scott Wimmer will take the wheel of the #78 for this weekends race at Michigan.
