Nadeau signed thru Watkins Glen with the #10 team: Jerry Nadeau will handle the driving duties of the #10 MBV Motorsports Pontiac for the next four events. We secured Jerry through Watkins Glen, just going off what happened to Johnny in May, team manager Jay Frye said July 14. We saw (Johnny) and he looks a lot better than he did in May. The recovery process should be much quicker. I guess the fact that the (latest) injury involved the ribs up front and not in the back (helps). I think anything in your back, it’ harder on you, it makes it harder to breath. Well know more (this) week, but weve got Jerry through Watkins Glen for sure, to be safe, Frye said. Johnny may come back before then. At one point, it appeared Nadeau would step back into the Petty car, but a breakdown in communications, he said, prevented that move. I kind of feel bad, he said. We just didnt communicate real well. Jay Frye called me the day after Johnny got hurt and asked me if I wanted to do the 10 car and I said yes. Then the 44 team called. They were just a little bit too late. Theyre good people. Id love to do something with them, maybe after Im done with the 10 car.(Winston Cup Scene – need subscription to read)(7-18-2002)
