WEST ALLIS, Wis. – Roush Fenway Racing crew chief Eddie Pardue will skip this weekend’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at the Milwaukee Mile to be with his ailing daughter, a team spokesperson confirmed.
Pardue’s daughter, Lani, is having problems with her kidneys. It is not considered to be life-threatening for the girl, who turns four on Sunday.
Matt Puccia, a former Roush Fenway crew chief who serves in that role for Yates Racing’s part-time Nationwide team, will replace Pardue this weekend.
Rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is driving the car at Milwaukee.
