Rudd injures shoulder in California crash: UPDATE: Ricky Rudd injured his shoulder in a crash during Sunday night's Sharp Aquos 500 at California Speedway. After being caught up in a six-car pileup on lap 181 of the 500, Rudd was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation. NASCAR officials confirmed he was treated and released. Rudd, driver of the #88 Robert Yates Racing Ford, separated his left shoulder according to FoxSports.com. NASCAR officials would only confirm that Rudd injured that shoulder.(SceneDaily.com)(9-3-2007) UPDATE: Ricky Rudd, who made his 900th career Cup Series start Sunday at California Speedway, separated his left shoulder and was briefly knocked unconscious in a wicked wreck during the Sharp Aquos 500, the veteran driver told ESPN.com. The shoulder is the major concern, and leaves Rudd concerned about his status for next weekend's Chevy Rock 'n Roll 400 at Richmond International Raceway. He said he wouldn't grade his chances of competing as very high.(ESPN.com)(9-3-2007) |

UPDATE 2: For the first time in his NASCAR Cup Series career, Ricky Rudd will miss a race due to injury. The left shoulder separation Rudd suffered last Sunday at California Speedway will prevent him from competing in this weekend's Chevy Rock & Roll 400 at Richmond International Raceway, the veteran driver told ESPN.com Tuesday. The wreck "tore a bunch of ligaments and tendons," Rudd said. "I'm out at Richmond." Rudd was uncertain who might replace him in the #88 Snickers Ford, and a Robert Yates Racing team spokesperson said the team is trying to make that determination in very short order. Rudd said he'll still attend the race to assist in any way possible, including driver/team communication. Rudd, who made his 900th career Cup Series start Sunday at California, separated his left shoulder and was briefly knocked unconscious in a wicked wreck on lap 181 of the Sharp Aquos 500. The last time Rudd was unable to compete due to injury was early in his career, when he'd only begun dabbling in stock car racing. At the time he was racing motorcycles, and a compound fracture of his arm ended his season. "Yeah, that was the only time and we really didn't have a true schedule, so to answer (the) question, no, I've never had to miss a race due to injury - until now," Rudd said.(ESPN.com), some rumors have Kenny Wallace subbing for Rudd at Richmond.(9-4-2007) |

Kenny > Leicht. but considering Leicht will most likely be in the car next season it would make more sense. |

Rudd may not race again...but hopes to: #88-Ricky Rudd said Friday that he is not sure whether he'll start another Nextel Cup race. Rudd sustained a separated shoulder during a wreck in Sunday's race at California and will miss the Chevy Rock & Roll 400 on Saturday at Richmond International Raceway. "I don't have an answer for that, it's kind of in the doctor's hands," Rudd said of racing again. "They consider it a level three separated shoulder. When I heard separated shoulder I thought that sounded better than breaking it. But it's not necessarily a good thing. There are torn ligaments and damaged ligaments and stretched ligaments. As far as recovering from the injury, it could be next week or it could be five or six weeks. I hope it's not my last race. I'm not planning on that. We'll just face it one week at a time. Who knows?" If he recovers within six weeks, he could still compete in about five more races. Ten races remain on the Cup schedule following Richmond. But Rudd considers Richmond his home track, and missing Saturday's race is painful. "I'm disappointed that this probably would've been my last Richmond race because I'm stepping out and retiring next year," Rudd said.(Daily Press)(9-7-2007) |
