Donlavey may return at Martinsville

Junie Donlavey, the owner of the #90 Helig Meyers Ford driven by Dick Trickle, might be on hand at the Winston Cup circuit’s next stop: Martinsville, Va. Donlavey underwent heart surgery last month to replace a leaky heart valve. His recovery is going well, according to team manager Jeff Kirk, who added Donlavey has tentative plans to visit the Martinsville track during the Goody’s 500 weekend, April 17-19.(Times-Dispatch)(4-6-98)
