Rudd and Sadler swap fails to yield wins in 2003 move
The year 2003 saw Ricky Rudd and Elliott Sadler switch rides, but neither claimed a victory. Sadler did win at Texas Motor Speedway, yet Rudd remained winless with Wood Brothers No. 21. Rudd cites NASCAR’s 26 race plus 10 race championship format and tire rule changes as adding early-season pressure and hindering performance. He notes Goodyear tire development and air pressure adjustments favored Dodge teams, and suggests adjustments for field fillers and qualifying rules may be needed.
