"I've got two broken ribs," said Geoff Bodine, driver if the QVC Ford
Thunderbird. Bodine visited the doctor on Friday and was surprised
at the news. He suffered some pain following his accident during
the Daytona 500 - but he didn't think he broke anything.
"As far a Sunday goes, I really don't know. I guess I'll try and start it
if I'm not hurting too much. and, if I do, let Todd (his younger brother)
get in it as quick as possible. The valuable Winston Cup championship
points will be awarded to Geoff if he can start the race then hand
over the duties to Todd.
On the possibility that he will drive his brother's car, Todd commented,
"It's sounding more and more like it because now Geoff is talking about setups."
Todd qualified the QVC Thunderbird during qualifying on Friday and put the car
into the 33rd starting position. Todd is currently driving on the Busch Series
this year with the #81 Protech team after losing his ride with the #75 Winston Cup
team owned by Butch Mock last year. Todd finished 10th in the Goodwrench Service
200 Busch race run Saturday.
