		To finish as high as he did, despite the in-house fighting and bitterness that continued to grow once the team announced Rudd was being replaced for 2003 by Elliott Sadler, is a testament to Rudd's professionalism and ability.
		Among the most glaring low points: Rudd had several run-ins with former crew chief Michael McSwain, and also alleged that team owner Robert Yates was not giving him equipment that was as competitive as that used by teammate Dale Jarrett, a charge Yates emphatically denied.
		What needs to be done: As Rudd begins his 27th season, 2003 finds the veteran with a new team, a new outlook and potentially a new lease on life.

		Then last year the unthinkable happened when Earnhardt shaved and Rudd failed to reach Victory Lane for the first time since 1982—the same year the Intimidator was last without a soup strainer.

		At the wheel of his new Ford when the 2000 season began at Daytona in February, Rudd couldn't wipe the smile off his face, not even after crossing the finish line on his roof in his first outing, the Bud Shootout, a qualifying run for the 500.
