While the Sollenberger's Messenger Service #10 was ready for the track Saturday, the driver wasn't able to make the call. Spent the Monday after Easter in the ER with two herniated discs and two bulging discs in my lower back. First race missed in 12 seasons that was not mechanical related. It was also my first ride in an ambulance that lasted longer than the front stretch at Hagerstown Speedway to the pits at Hagerstown Speedway. There was no way my lower back could take the pressure of the belts, not to mention the action on the track. Each day's getting better, so we'll se how things are on the 21st. Thanks for all the calls and emails, I appreciate each one.
