gundogC3 Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 two of the best got burned now, jon t, dale jr both get well soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tqj3 Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Just got off the phone with Jon T. He's still in the hospital, and they've kind of enlarged the wound in order to clean it. He's shooting for Thursday to be out of the hospital, but doesn't know if that will happen. Oddly, his burn was worse than Dale Jr.'s and is still worse. Jon sounds good, though, and wanted everyone to know he appreciates the concern. He also says he has to get out of there because the hospital doesn't have Speed Channel...

KELLY83 Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Just got home from the hospital... he wants out of there before the weekend but there's no telling when. They had to unwrap it and work on it some more today... just a wait and see deal. They may have to again. He's trying to get a wireless internet hooked up, satellite (speed vision), and no telling what else... he's gonna be guiding the space station down before long with all the electronic equipment. He did say thanks for thinking of him and all of the concern. As far as the race in San Antonio... who knows. It's just a wait and see deal right now. PS... He would like someone to sponsor him a new firesuit. Get well soon Jon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
