I'd like you all to check Brendas post on FB for the facts, But the short story is he had a mild stroke and got confused on the way to Bloomington. They found him in INDY where he spent the night in hospital. CT scan showed clot on the brain. Seems in good spirits with still some confusion.

Prayers for a quick and full recovery DAVE
Chuck, Who'll never forget him setting up t shirt trailer and seeing me in darn near heat exhaustion and coming to ask if I needed help.

Update: just met with neurologist and he was pleased with Dave's improvements. Still a little stumbling of words and memory but they say that he will continue to improve daily. Thankfully we found him in time and got immediate care for him. He will probably stay here in the hospital for another day or so to make sure of no seizure activity and or decline.
At this time we are just needing continued prayers for a quick recovery.
Much love ,
Brenda, Trenton, Tristiny, Destiny

Respect their privacy folks and don't rattle the phone continuously and keep it to family and closest for visits. Prayers for complete recovery and drs and nurses ability to get him there.

Questioned posting this but Brenda wanted to quash any rumors or stories as he didn't race Bloomington as advertised.

Prayers for Dave and his family. Agree with above comment, always had time to talk to fans and made you feel like you were the most important person he was going to talk with today.
