Got his from wirphotos.net:
"Dick Trickle had plans to run select races in the Midwest this summer, but those plans will be put on a hold. We are told Dick Trickle had to have heart surgery in which 2 stints/shunts were put in. Dick won't be able to wheel a car this season per doctor orders. Dick Trickle has drove a car prepared by Tim Rothe over the last couple a seasons. Dick Trickle has told Tim Rothe not to prepare a car for him as he will be taking this year off. (03-15-08) UPDATE: I (John McKarns) heard the rumor Dick Trickle had a heart attack so I called him tonite. He did not have a heart attack or stroke; however he has had chest pains since late November and they have run various tests. This week he had two stents installed where doctors found some blockage - but he still has chest pains and will have further tests. He is taking a blood thinner and will likely not race this season. (in part from John McKarns Email) (03-16-08) "
Hope Dick feels better soon!
