KERNERSVILLE, N.C. (April 29)--Kevin
Harvick Inc. (KHI) has reported that last Tuesday night April
26, after testing the No. 6 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet Silverado at
Lowe's Motor Speedway, Ron Hornaday was experiencing pain in is
stomach. He took himself to a Mooresville, NC area hospital, and
learned that his appendix had ruptured. Outpatient surgery was
performed, and Hornaday’s appendix was removed. He was released
that same night.
Hornaday has recovered and been
cleared by his doctor to race on Saturday night in the Dodge Ram
200 at Gateway International Raceway. Hornaday's KHI
teammate Tony Raines has traveled to St. Louis with the team and
will be on stand-by driver status on Saturday night if Hornaday
is unable to perform driving duties. Hornaday plans to carry
out business as usual on Saturday, and said that he is almost at
100% and expects to be fully recovered by the time the green
flag drops on Saturday night.
“I am focused and ready to race,”
said Hornaday, “I feel fine and look forward to driving the GM
Goodwrench Chevrolet Saturday night in St Louis.”
