RUSTY ENJOYING TRACK TIME & LEISURE TIME, TOO.

After a great practice session here at Daytona International Speedway on
Tuesday, how did Rusty spend the afternoon?

"We just had a tremendous practice session ­ the old hot rod was rock solid
and we could run and draft with anybody out there,"Rusty said after practice had concluded.

"Now we're gonna' soak up some of this nice weather that we've been missing down here the last few days. We're going over to the LPGA (golf course) and get in a round with my old Buddy Ron Bouchard (former Cup driver fromMassachusetts who won at Talladega), my brother Kenny and my logistics man, Tom Polansky.

"We'll have a fun time, get a little sun and Bouchard and I will probably
talk a little car business while we're out there. Ron owns some Honda
dealerships up in the Northeast and we'll probably compare notes a little.

"Hey, you gotta mix in a little fun with the business, right?"
