Penske News: #2 crew chief back; Window Net problem looked at:

#2-Kurt Busch crew chief Roy McCauley was back on the job at Penske Racing South early Monday after missing the race weekend at Phoenix. McCauley missed the Nextel Cup race after undergoing a minor heart procedure during the week. He is already at Talladega Superspeedway with his NASCAR team for this weekend’s Aaron’s 499. “I told them that I’d take it easy over the weekend last week, and I did just that,” McCauley said. “But I also told them that at 5:30 a.m. on Monday, we were going back to my normal schedule.”(SceneDaily.com)
AND: Penske Racing South crew members are intent on making sure that a window net problem never costs one of their drivers points again. At Phoenix, #2-Kurt Busch’s window net came loose, and he lost laps pitting to fix it. NASCAR requires window nets be secure anytime a driver is on the track.(SceneDaily.com)(4-28-2006)
