Budweiser Shootout - Rusty Wallace Notes

Rusty Wallace and his Larry Carter-led team will race their PRS-058 Dodge in the pole shootout. The car debuted at the July 2003 Daytona race. It was also raced in the fall of 2003 at Talladega and last July at Daytona.

"We have a good stable of speedway cars right now and look to be in great shape," said Carter. "The plan is to race the '58 car' in the shootout and then ramp her up as the backup to the '66 car' for the 500. We're prepared if we run into some bad luck. We have a brand new car in the shop - the '68 car' - that we can call on if we need it. We've got about 30 laps of track time on that car and certainly would be ready and willing to race it, too. We're pretty much loaded for bear when it comes to the number and quality of speedway cars that we have right now."
