According to Yogi Berra "It ain't over 'til it's over.". For Ricky Rudd it's over.

Yes, he has been a great driver. Very few of todays drivers will end up with as many wins as him.

Rumor has J.J. Yeley as a strong contender to take over his ride. Yeley's mediocre performance at JGR was not all his fault. JGR needs to take some of the blame for not putting the right people in the right spots.

Rudd could be just the start of the retirement bug,I think that Mark might hang it up next year and dont be surprised if Kyle Petty and Dale Jarrett also decide to hang it up as well.But who knows.
