Dover--Short Term Memories Part IV

Dover is a bit unique in that it has a horse racetrack inside the Nascar racetrack. So there's lots of stuff there that you don't find anyplace else. Chief amongst them is a small deck on top of the Busch garage. I climbed up the jungle gym-like ladder onto this deck and found myself surrounded by a few fans, some photographers, and Timothy Peters (Bobby Hamilton's truck driver). But the most recognizable person there was Scott Eggelston, team manager of FitzBradshaw Racing.
Eggelston smokes almost non-stop, no doubt trying to forget his time with Michael Waltrip. He also looks like about half the people who get pit passes--middle-aged, mustache, and polo shirt. He was on the radio for most of the early stages of the race, until Scott Lagasse's major wreck. He turned around, and gave me a look like "How much equipment are these guys gonna tear up until we win?" Then he headed down into the garage.
