Rudd News UPDATE:

hearing that the #28 Ford that Ricky Rudd crashed at Pocono was the same car the team planned on running at the Brickyard 400. The car was one of the two cars that tested well in the Indy test session recently. Hearing that Robert Yates Racing/RYR already had made provisions to have the car repaired if it was involved in a Pocono crash because they felt it would be so good at Indy, but after getting the car back to the shop, they found considerable frame rail damage. The car can be repaired, but not before the Brickyard. The team will probably now take the car Rudd ran in the top five with at California(7-31-2000)
