CONFIDENT WALLACE PREDICTING INFINEON RECORDS WILL FALL
-New Miller Lite Dodge & "Super Killer" Recent Test Have Him Optimistic
About Road Course Battle-

SONOMA, Calif. (June 22) - Miller Lite Dodge driver Rusty Wallace and his
Larry Carter-led team are hoping that a brand new racecar and a recent test
session at Infineon Raceway will spell success in this weekend's Dodge/Save
Mart 350 on the winding Sonoma Valley road course.

"We have a tremendously fast and sleek new little hot rod ready and we had a
super killer test with it out there a couple weeks back," Wallace said of
his June 8 test session on the newly repaved 10-turn, 1.99-mile California
facility. "The track is extremely smooth and a lot faster. You're really
able to get off the turns so much quicker. Based on how we practiced that
day, we're confident that the chamber is loaded and ready to shoot us down
another road course win this weekend.

"We were there testing along with Robby Gordon, Terry Labonte and several
others and were impressed with what we were able to do with the new car,"
said Wallace, who'll be making his 650th career start and 16th start on the
Sonoma road course on Sunday. "The 31 car (Robby Gordon) put a major
spanking on all of us (led 81 of the 110 laps) out there last year and that'
s a good team to compare yourself with. I guess you could say we were
impressed enough with what we had this time around that we'd dare to compare
ourselves with the best this time around.

"This is the first new road course car we've had in several
seasons now and the guys have done a fantastic job in giving us a new weapon
to work with," Wallace said of his brand new PRS-75 Miller Lite Dodge. "I'm
itching to get back out and put that baby through its paces."

According to Wallace, the current track qualifying record of
1:16.522 seconds, set by road racing specialist Boris Said last season, will
definitely be in jeopardy in Friday's qualifying session.

"We ran a 1:15.5-second lap in our early laps in qualifying trim during the
test," Wallace offered. "We switched over to race trim for some runs and
then went back to the qualifying setup. We did a taped-up, cooled-down,
full-blown 'banzai' run and got it down to a 1:15.250 on our stopwatches.
That's absolutely flying around that place.

"Man, there's no telling how fast you'll have to go to get the pole, but it'
ll definitely be a new track record," Wallace predicted. "I'm thinking that
it'll be about one full second - maybe a tick over that - faster in race
trim than it was before. The track will have had more time to cure now, but
it certainly has quite a bit more grip than last year and we'll be zooming
through all those turns."

Wallace started seventh and finished eighth in last year's Dodge/Save Mart
350. "We had a pretty good run going last year and got off the track," said
Wallace, whose six career road course wins rank him second only to Jeff
Gordon among active drivers. "We were able to regroup and pull us another
top 10 out of the day. We plan on being a ton stronger this time around and
be a legitimate threat to win the thing."

Friday's 2:05 p.m. PDT single round of qualifying will award all
43 starting positions for Sunday's race. Saturday's practice sessions are
set for 9:30 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. and 11:10 a.m. until 11:55 a.m. Sunday's
Dodge/Save Mart 350 has a 12:30 p.m. PDT starting time and features live
coverage by FOX-TV and PRN (radio).
