Matt Westfall injured
 
I just wanted everyone know that Matt was injured today at work. He was hit by a backhoe bucket and pinned inbetween a truck and the bucket. He ended up having a fractured hip and a VERY sore chest. He was flown by Careflight to Miami Valley Hospital. He is having SEVERE (and I mean SEVERE) chest pain because it hit him from the side and more less crushed his chest (thankfully nothing broke). He said his chest hurt worse than his hip. But Matt will need some cheering up because he is probably going to down for quit some time and driving Sara nuts. Please keep Matt, Sara and little Jasa in your thoughts and prayers. If you wish to send Matt a cheerful card his address is: 104 Cheyenne Dr. Pleasant Hill, OH 45359. I'm sure he's going to need all the racing support he can get. He is expected to be in the hospital a couple day and recovering at home from there.

Thank you.
Bonna Ryder (Matt's aunt)

This is just awful news. Thanks for sharing it though and for keeping us posted on his progress. He, Sara and Jasa will definitely be in our prayers. Please do keep us updated on how he progresses. He sure will be missed at the track.
