Lake Speed Did an Interview on TNN’s Inside NASCAR and Said He Has Not Retired

Lake Speed did an interview on TNN’s Inside NASCAR and said he has not retired. He was originally diagnosed as having bruised ribs after his Sears Point accident. A second checkup found that he had 4 broken ribs and a broken sternum then resigned from the #9 Cartoon Network/Melling Ford. He said he’d like to come back when healthy but only to a team that wants him and that has sponsorship. He had gotten a few calls to drive, but feels he is not healthy enough yet.(9-6-98)
