“Crew chief Buddy Parrott expects Jeff Burton to be ready to go all 400 miles in Sunday’s Winston Cup MBNA 400 at Dover, DE”(in the #99 Exide Ford). ” Burton, suffering from an inner-ear disorder that disrupted his equilibrium, drove until the first yellow flag Sunday at New Hampshire International Speedway, then turned his Ford over to Todd Bodine. Burton, fourth in the Winston Cup standings, went to Duke University Hospital in Durham on Monday to have the ear checked. Parrott said doctors now think Burton did have an inner-ear infection that medicine didn’t clear up in time. Burton was scheduled to compete in Saturday’s Grand National race in Dover, too, but he will not do so. The team will replace that race on its Grand National schedule by competing next month at Rockingham.”(Charlotte Observer)(9-16-97)
