Lyndon Amick is on the ground in Afghanistan, deployed there for the last four months as a part of the South Carolina National Guard. Amick today lives in a barracks with 12 other men. There’s a mess hall, gym and common room, where the computers and television are located. Internet access is spotty. Playing soldier is not an option for Amick. He’s a real soldier, up against a very real danger. There may be those of his comrades in arms who want a little action, but not Amick. Not necessarily. He just wants to come home, safe and sound, to Melanie and their kids. He’s scheduled for a 15-day leave in January, and should return for good just a few months after that.(NASCAR.com). Amick drove 93 Busch races between 1997 and 2003.(8-30-2007)
