Brandon Mudd of KFNS (www.kfns.com) in St. Louis spoke to Rusty Wallace today at a new conference discussing the Wallace Family Tribute 250 [Busch Series Race] to be held July 30th at Gateway International Raceway. St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay proclaimed July 30th as Rusty Wallace Day in honor of his outstanding acheivement in NASCAR. Rusty said he plans on winning the race, since his Busch Series team will be running for an owner's points championship with Jamie McMurray, Jeremy Mayfield, and himself in the driver's seat (Rusty is running the Gateway race as well as the Mexico City road race). Discussing his testing at Daytona, he said his car wasn't very good the first day, but came around and he was very pleased with it at the end. He also said he doesn't feel much difference between the new Charger and the Intrepid, the car formerly representing Dodge in the Cup and Busch Series.
