Robert Ballou Update
 
Robert spent the night at Methodist Hospital in Indy for observation, but he should be released later today. He has a contusion, but is expected to be fine. Thanks so much for all the prayers across the country because they sure made a difference. We really appreciate everyone who helped Robert yesterday.

Thanks again,

John and Cindy Ballou

Great news John :6:. Tough kid man.

John do you know if he's cleared to drive if they get a car together. Not that it matter's (Robert's OK thats all that really matters) I was just wondering.

Glad to hear Robert is going to be o.k. This accident is the worst one I have ever worked on and everyone who responded along with me to the accident took our time to make sure Robert was o.k. In true Robert fashion he was wanting to pull himself out of the car and was not wanting to wait for us to get him out. What a tough gasser that kid is.

Great news and can not wait to see Robert gassing it up again. Take care and see you next time at Kokomo.

P.S. Thanks goes to Heavy D and car owner Dallas for their help in this process last night as well. Truly good gassers who should have a pat on the back as well.

Robert took a wild ride and thankfully he is okay. Thanks for the updates and hopefully he will be back in the cockpit in the very near future. I was especially glad that the emergency personnel took their time in removing him from the car.

I can only imagine the words coming out of Robert's mouth while the track crew worked on getting him out of the car. LOL!

Glad to hear you are okay Robert. Give yourself time to heal as the more you crash the harder it is to get over them.

John & Cindy, this is great news. As others have said before me, I hope Robert listens to the doctors and only gets back in a race car when he is healthy again.

God Bless all of you,

Patti
