Richie Gilmore has returned to work and to his new job full time.

Gilmore, Dale Earnhardt Inc.'s former vice president of competition, had suffered a mild stroke in early October.

He is back at work as chief operating officer of Earnhardt-Childress Racing Technologies, the organization that resulted from the merger of the engine departments of DEI and Richard Childress Racing.

"He's back, and he's working hard," said DEI President Max Siegel. "He's actually very excited. Richie Gilmore's passion is engines. He lives it, eats it, breathes it, drinks it. He's almost giddy to be able to pour 100 percent of his focus into that.

"This experience for him was a wakeup call," he said of Gilmore's medical problems. "It was just a blessing he was able to pull through all of this."
