Race Postponed Until Monday
Jeff Hammond: Sources Say Dale Jr. Will Sign With Gibbs Racing
Kevin Hamlin Fired By Bill Davis Racing "With the competition as strong as it is, we just didn't feel like we were moving forward," said BDR's competition director Tommy Baldwin. "We had to do something, had to find that spark that would get the 22 moving in the right direction. We need to get both cars up to speed and we'll keep digging until we get there." Baldwin, who was interim crew chief on the No. 36 BDR Camry before David Hyder came on board this weekend, will fill the same role on the No. 22 until a replacement can be found. Baldwin also hired Mike Cooper as the car chief on the No. 36 to work under Hyder. Cooper worked at Robert Yates Racing and Ginn Racing before joining BDR. Hamlin began his crew chief career with Jimmy Spencer in 1991, but enjoyed his greatest success with the late Dale Earnhardt. The pair won their first of five races together at the 1999 Talladega spring race and posted 23 top fives and 54 top 10s in two-and-a-half seasons before Earnhardt's death.(foxsports.com)
Medicine May Be Causing Wood Headaches Wood left the track to see doctors following the first Busch Series practice Friday. Mark Martin practiced the car that afternoon and Travis Kvapil qualified and raced the car Saturday. "Jon Wood got out of his car on Friday following Busch Series practice by his own choice due to headaches and not feeling well," Eddie Wood said in a statement released by the team. "He is presently being evaluated by doctors for these symptoms. "It is believed at this time that he has been misdiagnosed with attention deficit disorder and is experiencing adverse reactions to the prescribed medications."
Wood, who was scheduled to run a full Busch Series schedule and a part-time Nextel Cup schedule, has been in several wrecks this year and was 22nd in Busch Series points entering the Dover race.(scenedaily.com)
