Rusty spent all day Monday (May 16) doing promotional work in the Chicago area. Among the activities he enjoyed was throwing the first pitch at the Chicago White Sox/Texas Rangers Major League Baseball game. Texas won the game 7-6 on Kevin Mench’s solo drive in the ninth inning, his second home run of the game. “It was a pretty good pitch that I threw, I thought,” he said on Tuesday. “The biggest thing was to get out there and not embarrass myself. They all said I did just fine and that was all I wanted to hear. We had a really fun time and you can have a blast visiting Chicago.”
Miller Brewing Company will be celebrating Rusty’s final season racing by inviting legal drinking age race fans to Lowe’s Motor Speedway on Saturday (May 21) for a landmark free concert by the Black Crowes. As part of the Miller Lite Rock’n Racing Concert Series, the show is set for Saturday at 3:00 p.m. in the Lowe’s Motor Speedway infield between Turns 1 and 2. Rusty will be present at the concert, addressing his loyal fans and introducing the Black Crowes.(TRPR)(5-18-2005)
