Rudd to retire at end of season

Autoracing Betting Lines

08/20/2007 - Brooklyn, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - While waiting out yesterday's rain, 50-year- old Ricky Rudd announced that he would retire at the end of the 2007 season.

"I've been fortunate that it's something that I've loved to do, had fun doing and made a good living doing it," Rudd said. "To run the schedule week-in and week-out, it's more demanding than it used to be. And it's really become a young guys' sport: a single guy or a guy that's married and no kids, which means guys in their 20s and early 30s, just because there are so many demands on your schedule. I guess I'm not willing to make those sacrifices for that full-time schedule anymore."

Rudd will retire after making 911 career starts, second only to Richard Petty's 1,184. To date, Rudd has recorded 23 wins, 29 poles and 374 top-10s in 897 starts over 32 years.

Rudd made his debut on March 2, 1975 at Rockingham, finishing 11th. He won at least one race for 16 consecutive years between 1983 and 1998. Rudd, who took last season off, will finish out the year in the No.88 Robert Yates Racing Ford.
