Ok-

Last poster brings up an interesting question for RW.

who gets the famed car "Midnight". does Rusty own it, or is it in the Penske
Stable?

I'll bet Rusty already owns it.

hasnt' raced for years.

Most drivers get to hold on to special cars, and with Rusty in the ownership
loop at Penske, I imagine he's had this one tabbed as "his" for a long time,
if not from its racing days to begin with.

I remember some time ago in one of the magazines (Stock Car Racing under
Berggren's reign?) a one-pager saying that Midnight had been retired and
was on its way to becoming a street stock. Raised my eyebrow cause I
didn't know street stocks could be based on a non factory stock chassis,
well, that and I imagined that with all the notoriety associated with
that particular car that it would have been stashed away somewhere for a
forthcoming Pensky and/or Rusty museum.
