nascar.com is reporting MARTIN TRUAX, JR has been hospitalized with kidney stones ... first i'll say i hope martin gets well quickly ... have had kidney stones ... dont wish the experience on anyonenascar's report quotes an earnhardt ganassi racing spokesman saying "as of right now, we expect him to be in the car" ... if i were writing the race team's statement it would read ... "if martin passes his kidney stone(s) before race time, we expect him to be in the car. if he doesnt, martin will not drive the #1 tracker boats/bass pro shops general motors chevrolet monte carlo powered by sunoco racing fuel and goodyear tires. we will not risk his health or safety" ... if earnhardt ganassi racing ultimately allows truax to race with stones in his system ... nascar must step in and stop truax from driving ... for his own safety and the safety of other drivers
the fact truax has been hospitalized suggests acute pain ... would nascar allow him to drive a race car at 200 miles per hour under the influence of painkillers ... kidney stones move ... pain comes and goes ... if truax is pain free at race time ... what is to prevent the pain from returning in a sharp stabbing way during the race ... when the driver is so harnessed to his seat movement to relieve pain is limited ... one of the treatments for kidney stones is drinking lots of fluids ... cranberry juice is often suggested ... im having trouble imagining martin truax following such a regimen til race time ... then sitting in a race car for a 500 mile drive without need of a urinal more than once ... nope, if martin truax is still stoned in the am ... someone needs to step in and stop him from racing at atlanta
