Dan and his family are great friends and very tough competitors.

Wow, we are all hoping for a speedy recovery!! Thanks Tony for letting us know how he's doing. Do you know how long he'll be there??

He should be going home Thursday morning. His truck is still sitting in the pits (probably under water) but it is packed and ready to be driven back to OK. They are looking for someone to drive it back there and will pay someone as well as fly them home.

Good to hear he only has 'minor' injuries for how bad of a wreck he was involved in

Thank you for the update!
