He is up and walking around every day and has a long road of recovery ahead of him. He's been a trooper through it all. Hope to see you all soon, good luck in your racing efforts! Thanks again.
Amanda,
I wish your brother the best in his recovery. I know it will be tough for him and all his family and we will all continue to pray for him and the family.

I have not spoke about his incident since that day but I found it quite disrespectful for the interview to take place while the EMT's are taking him out of the car. I know from my perspective that Alex's condition was much more important to the fans than an interview with the winner of the event. Alex put on one hell of a show that day and I will never forget that last lap battle that left him injured.

I still think at that moment the interview should be done after he out of the car and at least in the ambulance on his way to the hospital.

Just my .02...
