NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Test Session at Infineon

       

       SONOMA, Calif. - Rusty Wallace (Miller Lite Dodge)
posted the fastest lap Tuesday during a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup test session at Infineon
Raceway. The NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series will visit the scenic Sonoma Valley later this
month for the Dodge/Save Mart 350 (June 25-27).

       Wallace, a two-time winner at Infineon Raceway in 1990 and 1996, recorded the fastest
lap of the five NASCAR drivers at the one-day test session on the newly repaved 10-turn, 1.99-
mile road course. Wallace turned the track at 1 minute, 15.5 seconds. Road-course specialist
Boris Said holds the official track record of 1:16.522, set in 2003.

       Robby Gordon (Cingular Wireless Chevrolet), defending champion at Infineon Raceway,
was second-fast at 1:16.27. Terry Labonte (Kellogg's/got milk Chevrolet) 1:17.14; Jim
Inglebright (AOL Chevrolet) at 1:17.20; and Brian Vickers (GMAC Financial Services
Chevrolet) 1:17.67 rounded out the quintet. Wallace was in qualifying trim, while the four other
drivers were in race trim. All times were supplied by the race teams

       "We always look forward to coming out here," Wallace said. "I heard they repaved the
whole track so we thought it would be a good idea to come out here and test. We always feel like
we've got a chance to win here and the test went good. The track's got a lot of grip."

       Added Gordon: "The track is a little bit faster than it was last year. It should make for a
pretty exciting race when all 43 cars are out there."

       Inglebright, who has won three of the last four events at Infineon Raceway for the
NASCAR AutoZone Elite Division, Southwest Series, is a resident of nearby Vacaville and will
replace rookie driver Johnny Sauter in the No. 30 AOL Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing
for the road-course race at Sonoma.

       "I'm looking forward to this race quite a bit," Inglebright said. "I've done well in the
Southwest Series here and I'm hoping I can perform well for Richard Childress Racing."
