Cheney Tests Ticker

Vice President Cheney's heart is stable, his doctors reported after his physical Saturday. So what does he do? Decides to give the old ticker a test by heading off to Daytona International Speedway for the Pepsi 400 NASCAR race--an event that sounded like it involved a little more excitement than your average person with a heart condition should experience. In an interview with Fox News, Cheney called it "an awesome undertaking -- just the sheer size of the crowd, the energy, the complexity of what goes on in the pits, and with the teams and the crews." He also revealed that he hasn't driven a car himself since the day President Bush asked him to be his running mate almost seven years ago.
