I hear Rich Bickle will drive the #10 Tide Ford in place of ill Ricky Rudd. Not sure why it’s not Trickle who qualified the car. Also if Rudd can’t make the race, his streak of 564 consecutive races which is 3rd longest, would come to an end — UPDATE: Ricky Rudd was feeling better and back at the track Saturday morning after spending the night in a Richmond hospital. While Rudd plans to drive his #10 Ford in Saturday night’s Exide 400, a relief driver will be standing by in case Rudd is unable to complete the race. Rudd did not qualify his car in Friday night’s time trials at Richmond International Raceway after taking ill overnight. Rudd visited the track’s infield care center Friday morning and received treatment for a possible case of food poisoning. Just after noon, he left to the track to go the hospital( That’s Racin’ ) — UPDATE 2: Ricky Rudd is doing much better, practiced the car in the early Saturday test and the team does not intend to have a relief driver standing by on Saturday night. The #10 did not run in Happy Hour( NOL )
