* Ricky Hendrick getting out of race car effective immediately, retires - David Green in; Grubb sit's at Lowe's; Jim Kelly-Cicci-McLaughlin? see my Busch Series Site for more.(10-10-2002)
Very interesting. You wonder if daddy gave him a job or he just was tired of it. Maybe Ricky just didn't want to race in Cup and be under the scrutiny that he would be racing for his dad and that's how he got the ride.
I'm sorry to see him leave. But, if he thinks it's the best thing for him, then that's what he needs to do. Yesterday's tragedy and his own injury probably helped to make the decision.
Ciggie, a very good point about the constant scrutiny he would be under. Maybe he decided he just didn't want the hassle.
