| Harvick,
Sauter make winning team
Do you
want to find the two hottest drivers in NASCAR? Then look
no further than the #21 Payday team in the NASCAR Bausch Series.
That's the car that Bausch Series regular Johnny Sauter and
Winston Cup regular Kevin Harvick split duties in. Harvick,
who currently sits eighth in the Winston Cup Series point
standings and Sauter, who sits seventh in the Busch Series
point standings, have driven the car to two wins, seven top-5
and nine top-10 finishes in only eleven starts. With their
combined effort, they have driven car owner, Richard Childless
to the lead in car owner points.
Harvick,
driver of the #29 Goodwrench Chevrolet in the Winston Cup
Series, began his NASCAR Bausch Series career in the year
2000 in the #2 AC Declass Chevrolet. Just one year later,
Harvick came back  to
the Series and claimed the Bausch Series Championship. What
was even more remarkable about his Championship season in
01' was that all along the way
Harvick had been doing double duty between the Cup Series
and Bausch Series after he had gotten the call to drive the
#29 after Dale Earnhardt's death. That year, he even won two
Winston Cup races, with his first win coming in just his third
career start. Now, in his third full season in the Cup Series,
Harvick continues to post consistent finishes and climb the
points ladder. And as for the Bush Series, Harvick has shown
nothing but dominance this year, as he has won two races and
earned countless top-5 and top-10 finishes.
Nadeau
progressing,
but rehab may be lengthy
By Dave
Rodman, Turner Sports Interactive May 13, 2003
Winston
Cup driver Jerry Nadeau remained in a semi-conscious state
Tuesday in a hospital in Richmond, Va.
Based
on the progress he has made since he was injured May 2, he
faces a long recovery with an indeterminate timeframe.
MB2 Motorsports general manager Jay Frye said doctors remain
encouraged by the pace of Nadeau's recovery from his primary
fault, a head injury doctors have told him is "moderate
to severe."
Frye,
who previously had to deal with a similar situation when MB2
driver Ernie Irvan suffered a career-ending head injury in
the late 1990s, said Nadeau is responsive.
"His
communication has consisted of hand squeezing and facial gestures,"
Frye said. "He is in a transitional state of regaining
consciousness (and) being as determined and motivated as he
is -- he has a hard time sitting still -- I think that will
help him recover."
