Suspended crewman to return

Valvoline Evernham Racing crewman Craig Curione is expected to return for the Budweiser Shootout this weekend. Curione was indefinitely suspended by NASCAR following an altercation where he reportedly pushed Kevin Harvick after the Nov. 5, 2006, race at Texas Motor Speedway. Harvick and Evernham driver Scott Riggs had gotten into an accident on the track late in the event. NASCAR Vice President Robin Pemberton said Thursday that he expected Curione to be reinstated. scenedaily.com
