Pemberton may sit out UPDATE no Texas: Robin Pemberton, crew chief for Rusty Wallace’s #2 Miller Lite Ford, was not with the team Friday at Texas. Pemberton was, instead, back home in the Charlotte area undergoing medical tests to seek the cause for the fatigue he has been feeling in recent weeks. “I was really feeling pretty normal as far as being run down and stressed out – just like about 400 other friends of mine feel like every day,” Pemberton said. “But my doctor didn’t like the way I was looking and he told me to come in for some tests.” Pemberton had a heart stress test before last week’s race at Bristol and then had a heart catheterization. Those tests did not reveal any blockages. On Friday, he was having his carotid artery checked. Pemberton wouldn’t rule out coming to the race on Sunday. If he doesn’t, team general manager John Erickson said that Jeffrey Thousand would likely be on top of the team’s pit box on Sunday communicating with the driver(That’s Racin’)(3-31-2001) UPDATE: Rusty Wallace’s crew chief, Robin Pemberton, opted not to fly to Texas yesterday.
