I was told last night at Kokomo that Norm Bailey (Miami County Speedway) had a heart attack and was flown life line to Indy. If anyone has any news on his condition please post. Please keep Norm and Julie in your prayers.

I stopped in to see Norm last night on the way home from Kokomo. He is resting comfortable and doing very well at St. Vincent Heart Center in Indy. A few days rest and adjustment of meds and he should be heading home.

Hey Buddy! This is the same Norm. He worked the infield for me at GC and is now one of the partners(Julie, his wife, Dwayne&Connie & others) that runs Miami County in Peru.

This has been one of the scariest times in my life. We were in the ER when he had the heart attack. The time between his attack and beginning of treatment was maybe 5 seconds at the most. With such a quick response time and the fact his heart was only stopped for the briefest of time made the difference between life and death for him. The doctor told me if he had been anywhere besides there he would be gone.
We would like to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. The visits, phone calls and text messages kept us going. You don't really think about it until something happens to make you realize just how lucky you are to have such a great family.
Thanks!!!
