Quick update for all friends and fans:
As stated earlier Robert does have a couple fractures in his neck which require surgery. All extremities are moving with no problems and he's still quite the chatter box early this morning. As of right now he has been transported to Stanford Hospital to meet with a surgeon to prepare for surgery. We will continue to keep everyone updated as we know more! Thank you to everyone for the thoughts and prayers as it is much appreciated by all.

Twice fractured neck here due to motorcycles.
Hopefully with surgery he'll have no problems down the road. That's when you start feeling it when you age some. The worse problem seems to be calcium buildup and arthritis, both of which I hope his surgery prevents.
Good luck dude, see you racing soon.

I felt sorry for Robert after hearing all the fans booing him at the smack down introduction.There are drivers I like more then others but never boo any of them. I hope he heals quick and is on the track soon!!

An update from Robert Ballou Motorsports

Quick update:
We are still in a holding pattern at this time, he continues to be stable though and they continue to keep the pain down! As far as the thoracic (back) fracture they feel it is stable and will heal on its own. So with that being said he was able to finally sit up, have something to eat and get the water he had begged for since the crash itself!

As far as surgery on his neck, they are pulling an excellent team together to provide the best care but this takes time and they want all surgeons to be able to fully assess and discuss next steps! This process will continue through the night and into tomorrow morning.

Again thank you to every single person for the messages, thoughts, prayers and everything! We appreciate it and will continue with updates as we know more!

**For anyone wondering, he's keeping the staff at Stanford entertained and laughing even through his pain! Can you expect anything less from Robert?

Agree. No one should ever be booed for our entertainment. If you don't like a driver, just sit there & don't clap or cheer for them. Most people don't really know them personally. To be the best you have to beat the best. Hope everything goes good for Robert & he is back racin soon.
