RICHMOND, VIRGINIA - Jerry Nadeau has been upgraded to fair condition and moved out of the intensive care unit of a Virgi nia hospital. It's been six days since the Winston Cup driver was critically injured in a crash at Richmond International Raceway. <br>
<br>
A team spokesman said Nadeau's vital signs are normal. <br>
<br>
Nadeau sustained head, lung and rib injures in an accident during practice last Friday when his car slammed driver's side first into the concrete wall at the track. <br>
<br>
Meanwhile, Mike Wallace has been hired as a fill-in driver while Nadeau recuperates. He'll begin driving the Number-one Pontiac in The Winston Open on May 17. <br>
<br>
Wallace has two Winston Cup starts this season. He finished ninth at the season-opening Daytona 500 driving for Phoenix Racing.
