Mast News: Cup driver Rick Mast was on Fox Sports Net’s NASCAR This Morning, interviewing Ganassi Racing people about their motor coaches [a taped interview from April 2001], Steve Waid of Winston Cup Scene, one of the hosts of the show mentioned that Mast is at 70% and that doctors determined he suffered from some sort of toxcity and there is no word on when or if he will return to racing. From the Fox Sports site: John Roberts: It’s been awhile since we heard from “The Rickster,” but Steve Waid, I understand you had a chance to talk to him. Steve Waid: Yeah, I spoke to him this past week. “The Rickster” is doing just fine. He’s in great spirits. He says he’s about 70 percent. The doctors have determined that he did suffer from some kind of toxicity. No decision yet whether he’ll be racing again. He certainly hopes to be. But for the time being, guys, he’s doing just fine. He’s in great spirits, and we wish the best for “The Rickster.” We’d like to see him back in the car.(11-17-2002)
