From the beginning, Ricky Rudd has shouldered expectations. After winning the Rookie of the Year award in 1977, Rudd went on to set a modern NASCAR record with at least one victory in 16 consecutive seasons. That streak ended last year, when he operated as an owner/driver. He could make quick work of starting a new streak with a victory on Sunday. CNNSI.com's John Giannone spoke with Rudd on Wednesday about his move to a new racing team.
