Despite surgery, Hornaday ready to race
Ron Hornaday suffered a ruptured appendix on Tuesday, had it removed and was home later that night. I would have thought they would keep him an extra day, especially because it ruptured, but he was released that evening.
NASCAR has cleared him to race and Hornaday says he feels fine, although they do have Tony Raines standing by, just in case.
With everything they have to go through sitting in those trucks, let alone the possibility of wrecking, I'm not sure I would be OK with racing only four days after surgery. Hopefully NASCAR and Hornaday made the right decision.

With todays lazor surgery and getting to the rupute quickly as they did in Ron's case aftercare is shortened big time. The physician wouldn't have relased Ron back to racing if he felt there would be a problem, nor would have Ron.
Recovery today is much shoter than in days past thanks to the wonderful advancments made in technology.
