During the first caution period in the Daytona 500 on Sunday, John Wallace, a tire carrier for #33-Mike Skinner, fell from the wall onto pit road, suffering a hairline fracture of his right arm and requiring 8-10 stitches in his forehead, just above his nose, team general manager Bobby Hutchinson said. “A tire from (#32-Ricky Craven) rolled into our pit as John was jumping off the wall, and he landed right on it,” Hutchinson said. Hutchinson said another crew member filled in for Wallace on Skinner’s next two pit stops, and then after Robby Gordon was caught up in a multi-car crash on Lap 70, a tire man from Gordon’s crew filled in on Skinner’s team.
