I just read an interview with Ricky Rudd. He says that RYR has not abandoned the #28. He predicts that a third team with #28 could show up on a limited basis (maybe with a Bush diver) in 04 and he "wouldn't be surprised" to see it return full time by 2005. I know he isn't "in" with RYR anymore. But he no dount heard alot and still hears alot, and I'm inclined to believe him. happy days.
P.S. Shell Petroleum is now the sole lubricant sponsor for RYR. Wouldn't supprise me then to see a shell brand on a new #28.
