Nadeau still hopes to race: No doubt about it, former NASCAR driver Jerry Nadeau would jump at the opportunity to return to stock-car racing. “I’m still trying to figure out what’s next for me,” Nadeau said. “I’m just a racer, I love to race and if I can come back in some capacity, I’ll do that.” Sidelined since 2003 due to injuries suffered in a horrific crash in practice at Richmond International Raceway, the 38-year-old Danbury, Conn., native attended a fundraiser for former NASCAR crew chief Jake “Suitcase” Elder at Memory Lane Motorsports and Automotive Museum on Saturday. Nadeau, who made a 177 starts during his seven year Cup career, still experiences numbness on the left side of his body resulting from the crash, but said he is cleared medically to race. “I’ve kind of come accustomed to it. It’s just something that I have to life with,” Nadeau said. “But I’m fine. I can race and I still do my simulator all the time.”(SceneDaily)(3-15-2009)
