Eldora updates???

Anyone have any word on Stenhouse?? Just wondering if he's alright, knew he was transported to the hospital.

Ricky Stenhouse was looked at and released early this morning in Greenville. As you can image, he's as sore as anybody that finds themselves in the Eldora catch fence while up on the wheel of a fast midget. I can say, though it doesn't show on his exterior, he's pretty darn tough and fitting of he's nickname.

And I'll go on with saying "Thank You" to the Eldora Speedway Safety team, the EMTs at the track, and hospital & staff in Greenville for tending to these kinds of things. And to everyone else, "Thank You !" for your good thoughts, prayers and concerns.

THANK YOU !

Thanks for the update uncle D. Ricky is a hardworking tough kid. It seems our prayers were answered.

On points:
Doing some fuzzy math, it appears that the #27 Rotondo Weirich team has about wrapped up the Silver Crown owner's points chase. They lead the #21 Six-R team by 57 points heading into Phoenix. The #199 Carl Edwards/ R.E. Technologies Racing team is 60 points back. The No. 21 and 199 teams will battle for 2nd in Phoenix only separated by 3 points. The #17 Rotondo Weirich team is 29 points out of 3rd.

The drivers points battle is closer with Dave Darland 20 points back of Jerry Coons Jr. for the championship. Brian Tyler is 57 points back. Shane Cottle is 32 points out of 3rd.

Coons, Darland and Tyler and their teams are all first class and deserve the honors they will recieve at the end of the year.

Congratualtions to everyone on a great season. Best wishes for a safe race and great points battle in Phoenix.

That is such good news, as that was a horrific flip. I was amazed when I saw him try to get out under his own power. All one has to do is watch Ricky run one lap @ Eldora in a midget, to come to the obvious conclusion that this young man has no fear. None, whatsoever.

And man was he on the move or what?! Great job Jesse!! That was awesome....Sweet was fast from the front and you were fast from the back, people shouldn't have watched anything other than the two of you. Good luck back east with the wing on....you know what I say....

Not only with the way he drives, but also with the number of races Jesse drives, ...410...360...With wings...Without wings, I know quite a few IOWers that think the Rocket is the hardest working racer in the sport. He's a racer with the true outlaw spirit.

The Rocket is definetly a gasser. That was a great show he put on comin from the back up on the fence.

Congrats to all the winners last night. Good to see Sweet that elusive first sprint win for KKR. Hope Yeley's win lifted his spirits.

And of course congrats to DD and the Foxco bunch!:applaud:
