More Seat Belt News: The physician who said a faulty seat belt might have been responsible for Dale Earnhardt’s death at the Daytona 500 admits that he was quick in blaming the restraint system. “I was trying to answer the questions the media and the public had to the best of my ability and I think I speculated more than I should have,” Dr. Steve Bohannon told The News-Journal of Daytona Beach on Wednesday. “Sometimes you should just say it’s too early to speculate.” Bohannon, the director of emergency medical services at Daytona International Speedway, withdrew his assumption after a court-appointed medical expert said restraint failure didn’t play a role in Earnhardt’s death Feb. 18.(That’s Racin’/AP)(4-12-2001)
