Ricky Rudd Loves Driving

(Filed under: Interviews)

The 48-year-old veteran Ricky Rudd considers next season and talks about the joy of driving compared to the circus modern racing can sometimes be:

"My whole deal is I'm not a movie star, don't claim to be and don't want to be—and I'm not a TV star, don't claim to be and don't want to be. I'm a guy that enjoys racing because of the fun of driving a good-driving racecar [and] the more weekends we have where the cars really perform good and run good, the more fun I have in this sport.

"A lot of the other things I don't enjoy about this sport, but I do enjoy race day and having good racecars under me—and to me I have to have good racecars under me to get through all the other crap there is to this sport."

Rudd will most likely stick with the Wood Brothers next year, though the Wood Brothers are considering a partnership to become a multi-car team.
