The 80-year-old motorsports veteran made what turned out to be a difficult trip to the Daytona International Speedway Media Center for this year's 500.

See,, and a mid-December heart attack left me hospitalized for six days at the VCU/MCV Medical Center in Richmond, Va. . The doctors sent me home saying to act like an 80-year-old instead of trying to deny it. Take your meds, they said; relax on the sun porch with iced tea and some good books; eat better; do cardiac rehab three days a week; quit stressing over whether Kyle Busch and Richard Childress will get along; no long-distance driving; no all-night writing.

I was recovering at home around Christmastime when I realized the Daytona 500 was about two months out. Hey, I thought, I can still make that. I’ll lose weight and do everything the doctors at MCV said. I’ll whip myself back into shape and press on relentlessly, like I have since I began writing about race cars in 1969. I won’t go for the whole week, but a Friday-Saturday-Sunday trip might be doable. No reason to quit at 53 when 54 is so close.
