Ricky Rudd! Will renumber to #28 with Mars sponsorship.
Am surprised but delighted if this is true. 'Rooster' is one of my all time favourite drivers and did a great job at Yates last time round. To have the #28 back on track without Texaco will be strange but Ricky will be a good choice and do a solid job.
I look forward to seeing the #28 paint theme. :D
Glad he's going to be doing this full time too, I don't think you can be competitive running a handful of races a year, or even part-time like Mark Martin will be.
Interesting, I didn't see that coming, I had heard when Rudd left Yates it was pretty ugly?
Before Ricky Rudd left, there had been a bruhaha between Ricky & Robert Yates.
Ricky Rudd felt DJ was getting the "good stuff" & his team was getting slighted.
Ricky Rudd & Robert Yates had a heated argument.
Stories disagree, some say Yates puched Rudd, others say they pushed & shoved each other ...
It ended with Rudd displaying a blackeye for a couple of weeks.
Whatever the true story is Rudd left RYR at the end of the 2002 season.
Dale Jarrett has left Robert Yates Racing & now Ricky Rudd returns ......
Hmmmmmmm

Anyone want to bet that the MWR #44 changes to 88 before Daytona
if the Rudd/28 rumors are true?
next thing we know, Terry or Rusty will be back racing for Roush in the #6 :rolleyes:
