Word has it the sideline visit for John Medlen will be a brief one. Last week, Medlen resigned his position at Don Schumacher Racing when he was reassigned to the engine shop after an unsuccessful second stint as tuner on the NAPA Auto Parts Funny Car. Could we see Medlen back in action as early as this weekend with another Funny Car team? We're still chasing down details but we can tell you this much -- it isn't Ford, Mopar or GM-based operation. That should narrow it down.
