I was there and saw the data after the race (2001(?) Daytona National) ... 
Rusty was able to draft w/ the top FF's for a few laps.  They were so close 
(during drafting) they appeared to be one car.  Rusty also set the F500 track 
record that weekend for Daytona.  I believe he was driving his green KBS Mk 7.5 ?? 
Not sure - Julie would know for sure.

Anyone that knows Rusty will agree that he's not one to give out bogus info 
just to look good or for shock value ... if he says his data showed 14x mph at 
Daytona, then there is a good chance it happened.  Of course everyone's in-car 
data will be different, or slightly flawed for one reason or another, but he 
was able to put down laps that weekend that reflected his high top speed.
