Though Jerry Nadeau [driver of the #01 Chevy who was injured a year ago at RIR] continues to recover from head injuries sustained in a practice accident at RIR, he doesn’t shelter any bad feelings about the Richmond facility. In fact, he is planning to attend the weekend race, his first visit to a Nextel Cup event in 2004. “I only have good things to say about the Richmond track and the community,” said Nadeau. “After all, the track emergency workers and the hospital staff at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center saved my life. I’m really looking forward to being with the team. Hopefully I can bring Joe [Nemechek] and the guys some luck. Joe is doing a great job in the Army car despite all of the bad breaks he’s had recently.(MB2 Motorsports PR in part)(5-11-2004)
