Rusty Wallace: Dodge Intrepid
built 290 days ago
Rusty Wallace #2 Miller Lite - 1/2 Clear This is the / Kodak / special paint scheme of Rusty Wallace's #2 Miller Lite / Dodge Intrepid. This car was driven at Watkins Glen International on August 15, 2004. This was Rusty’s first time with another sponsor since he has been with Miller beer.
The infraction came in Wallace's first race in a Dodge Intrepid after moving over from Ford this season. In addition, sponsor Miller Lite had promised a voucher for a free six-pack of beer to all fans of legal drinking age should Wallace win the Daytona 500.
Wallace ran a lap of 162.619 mph in the #66 Homelife Communities Dodge. This was the fastest of the 44 cars in the May 10th Happy Hour test session. #18-Aric Almirola, #90-Stephen Leicht, #16-Todd Kluever and #12-Ryan Newman were the rest of the top 5 on the speed chart for this final test.
1989 car at Phoenix with Kodiak paint scheme In 2003, Penske Racing switched to Dodge, and appropriately, in 2004, Wallace won his 55th, and final, race on a short track: the 2004 spring Martinsville Speedway race. It was ... the last win for the track under the ownership of the H. Clay Earles Trust; the death of Mary Weatherford (matriarch of the trust) forced the Trust to sell the track a month later.
"It's a shame - it really is," Rusty told a group of reporters who gathered around his No.2 Dodge back in the garage area after the race. "It was yet another day of lost opportunity - another one of those woulda-coulda-shoulda races we've had the whole darn year."
