Speaking from the airport in Houston, Texas, Whit Bazemore revealed that he will not be competing on the NHRA circuit in 2008.
“Nothing, actually,” Bazemore said in his standard straight from the
hip style when asked what he might have in the hopper for the coming
season. “It's doesn't look like I will race next year.
“I guess you could say I am taking a sabbatical.”
No tears. No sound of depression. If anything, Whit expressed a feeling
of relief knowing he isn't facing the issues confronting the sport in
2008 that his fellow competitors will not be able to avoid.
