Update from Emily Brandt regarding Eric McClure

Eric McClure, driver of the No. 14 Hefty®/Reynolds Wrap® Toyota, was released this evening from the UAB Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama, where he was airlifted Saturday afternoon following a racing incident at Talladega Superspeedway.

He suffered a concussion and mild internal bruising and is expected to make a full recovery. This week he will follow up with specialists regarding his injuries.

Jim Utter and the folks over at thatsracin.com are reporting that Penske Racing has released the driving services of Cup Series Champion Kurt Busch.  Check out the link for more, and we will post the official team release when available.

So now the questions are:

Who will take over the #22 ride in 2012?

Where will Kurt Busch land without any immediately known rides open?

You gotta love the “off-season”
