Skaife to miss Sandown 500
Should go in the "news" section but it won't let me post there.
From HRT:
HOLDEN Racing Teams Mark Skaife was rushed to hospital this morning with appendicitis and is unlikely to participate in this Sundays Just Car Insurance Sandown 500
Skaifes wife Toni said this afternoon; "Theres only a remote chance that Mark would be okay to drive.
He suffered stomach pains last night then went to a doctor this morning where scans revealed his appendix should be removed.
The operation finished up being a normal procedure, but Mark was really disappointed that sucha thing should happen at this time of year, she said.
Meanwhile, Team Manager Robbie Starr was on the hunt for a replacement driver.
If mark is our, we will pair up Todd Kelly and Nathan Pretty in Todds #22 Commoore and we believe ex-RHT bathurst winner Tony Longhurst will share with Glenn Seton in Marks #2, said Starr
We hope to fly him down to Melbourne from the Gold Coast tonight in time for practice tomorrow.
