Jeff Burton started the #99 Exide Ford in the MBNA 400 at Dover on Sunday and stayed in the car for the whole race. Burton explains what the viral infection he had: “In layman’s terms, I have a virus that has attacked the nerve that sends the message from my inner ear to the brain,” said Burton. “A virus tears down the ability of that nerve to do what it is supposed to do. Through stimulating the nerve, it will become better just by doing everyday things. You can teach the nerve to do what it has got to do and that’s what I’m in the process of doing right now.(NASCAR Online)(9-21-97)
