How is he

[FitchRacer07]

Jerry had a pretty good hit in the Grand Stocks last night and was taken to the hospital. Does anyone have any updates on his condition? It was so scary seeing the fire dept cut the top off of his car in the pits to get him out. Please let us know, he is in our thoughts.

I just spoke with Jerry Canavati, the Grand Stock driver who was transported to Brackenridge Hospital last night following a wreck in the feature race. He was released early this morning and has a possible hairline crack in his shoulder, along with bruised shoulder muscles and pulled neck muscles. Although he is in a lot of pain, we are all thankful that his injuries were not more serious, especially since he had to be cut out of his car before being transported.

Thank you, I did not even read the updates this morning. I am glad to hear he is going to be OK. Get well Soon Jerry.

To add to Floyd's comment, I hope the drivers also protect themselves with adequate insurance coverage. As I mentioned in the drivers' meeting yesterday, the ASA insurance coverage provided by the track has a maximum of $50,000. For just $90 a year ($125 for the Super Stocks), the THR local class drivers can get a maximum of $500,000 of coverage that includes travel to and from the track. I personally have already purchased this additional coverage.
