Jamie Dick, an owner-driver in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, has been diagnosed with new onset diabetes.
Immediately after finishing 28th in Saturday’s Axalta 200 at Phoenix International Raceway, Dick was taken to the trackside care center after complaining of dizziness and fatigue. He was admitted to West Valley Hospital for further tests, which led to the diagnosis.
Dick was released Sunday, and has returned to the Charlotte (N.C.) area where evaluation and treatment will continue.
"I would like to thank everyone for their support during this difficult time," Dick said. "It was quite a surprise to hear the diagnosis, but the response from the NASCAR and PIR medical staffs was outstanding. The support from the racing community, my Viva Motorsports team and the fans has been overwhelming. Now, I need to learn about this disease and do whatever it takes to get back behind the wheel as soon as possible."
Jeffrey Earnhardt will drive the No. 55 Chevrolet in this weekend’s race at Auto Club Speedway(MRN)
