    You have got to be kidding. Bravo!!!!

    I honestly thought the reports that he was talking were fake news and wouldn’t have been surprised if he passed.


    Great news.

    Absolutely amazing he had no major injuries.

    The early reports were he was in serious but not life threatening condition. I guess they were just being cautious?

    I am sure.

    It rang his bell and very possibly they got so little from him for a while they didn't know what his condition was.

    Remember Mark Donohue was talking to the ambulance crew and he never made it to the hospital.

    I have little doubt the vicodin is a big reason he is walking. I bet there are some pretty awesome bruises from his harness.

    Just amazing!!!! God answers prayers!!! I would never of guessed that he would be able to walk out of that hospital. Talk about a life-changing experience. I’m sure he realizes how lucky he is. Great picture with him and the kids!!

    My guess is he was unconscious and they didn't know any brain injury or other internal injuries.

    I'm also guessing they erred on possible the worst just in case things turned worse later. Nascar would have been reamed if they said he was OK and then had a serious injury or set back.

    Just unbelievable. So good to hear. I guess by NASCAR standards a day and 1/2 is a long recovery considering they mostly just walks away for the wrecks. But for sure he will need a little time off.
     
  12. I just "wants" to know why they let him "walks" out barefooted....... :rolleyes: :p ;)
