Q: Can you give us an update on the health status of Kevin Buskirk (crew chief, #19 Stanley Dodge Charger)?
A: I spoke with Kevin last night, weve been texting each other back and forth; hes actually getting better and better. Some of the medicine that theyve been giving him has been making him a little bit dizzy and sleepy. He got some type of “bug down there (Bristol) in his intestines that were causing some trouble for him. He soldiered through on Friday and Saturday and just did a tremendous job. On Sunday he was like,”Man, I just cant go.” Mark McArdle made the call to put me on the pit box and things really worked out well. It was quite different for me to be in that role. It was something that I enjoyed at the same time, being there for Elliott Sadler, Best Buy and Stanley as a fill-in.
Q: Is Kevin Buskirk back for Martinsville?
A: Hes not back yet. Hes still recovering. I told him that Im about ready to come over there and start giving him IVs and medical stuff to get him back soon, get him back there in Martinsville. Hes getting better and better and Im sure hell be back with us in Martinsville.(Dodge Motorsports)(3-25-2009)
