6/13/01 Shoulder Soreness Sidelines Driver
Despite lot's of team work and prep time on the late model about mid-week Aaron developed pain and stiffness around the area of his shoulder where he had surgery earlier this year.  After a visit to his orthopedic doctor and x-rays, it was determined that there wasn't much likelihood any real damage, just overuse.  However, with no opportunity to go to practice to continue work on the set up and engine, the team opted to sit this one out, allowing time for the shoulder to heal and ensure the car's readiness by the next race.
