“Mike Skinner raced in the DieHard 500 with fractured ribs — and didn’t know it. “I knew they were real sore,” Skinner said. “But I didn’t find out that two were fractured and another one was separated from where it’s supposed to be until I went to the doctor on Monday (a day after the race).” Skinner fractured the ribs at Charlotte Motor Speedway Oct. 3 in qualifications for a Busch Grand National Series event.”(SpeedNet)(10-24-97)
