Hearing that road racer David Murry is speaking with MacDonald Motorsports about filling the seat in the #72 truck, which was left vacant by Randy MacDonald after a crash at Daytona in February. It may be a race-to-race deal or for the rest of the season. Jimmy Hensley was the most recent driver to substitute for MacDonald, at Martinsville, two weeks ago. Reports are that MacDonald underwent neck surgery in Florida yesterday to repair lingering injuries suffered in the crash. Murry is presently competing in the American Le Mans Series with a Porsche race team. An Atlanta resident, Murry has ARCA and Winston Cup experience, the latter coming at Watkins Glen in 1999 when he qualified 31st, ran as high as eighth, before finishing 36th after an oil line problem.(4-18-2001) UPDATE: MacDonald Motorsports is still looking for a driver with sponsorship backing to drive the #72 at Gateway International Raceway. Contact Doc MacDonald, see my Team Address/Pgone page for number at (336) 476-0118(Keldan Media Group PR) AND Randy MacDonald is resting comfortably at Miami University Hospital after undergoing surgery last week to repair three herniated discs in his neck, which he suffered in a crash at the season-opening Daytona 250..(Daytona Beach News Journal)(4-25-2001)
