Mast treated for carbon monoxide poisoning

Per RPM2Nite, Rick “Nigel” Mast, driver of the #75 Remington Ford, came down with a case of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning during a flight San Francisco to Atlanta on Monday morning. The aircraft was diverted to Denver where Mast was checked out and released to go later in the day. Mast was interviewed by John Kernan and is fine now.(RPM2Nite) – the Nigel part was a joke by his crew where they had Nigel Mast painted on the car instead of Rick Mast since Mast went to road racing course recently. Nigel comes from the F1 great Nigel Mansell.(6-29-98)
