Onion was Joe Falk's 5th driver in the #91 in 1998. Richmond was Todd's first race for the team and he started 18th and was running top 15 when he spun around the halfway point. Around the time he spun, Todd was gonna come into the pits anyway. Apparently the cockpit of the car became very hot, his feet were burning and was on the verge of possibly passing out. Dick Trickle was standing by to take over the #91 during their next stop, though the team was hoping it wasn't during a caution of their making.
