I also got the chance to meet his father, WOW.... What a great guy!

Thanks a lot for the info Gregg!
Hearing about the injury to his spine had me worried It brought me back horrible memories had hard time going to sleep I hate hearing things like this! Sounds better now I know he is at Methodist The best place in Indiana to be for that injury I hope he gets Dr. Renkins He is a Great Doctor for this injury he did great for me! Please keep us posted and Praying that everything will turn out for the best!

Does anyone know if he was wearing any kind of head and necks support? In the video it looked like his head whipped around quite a bit. Just wondering.

With all these injuries taking place recently it really has me looking into the safety of my equipment. I hope to save enough money to buy a HANS before next season.

I just seen this on facebook it's old but some news about Joe!

Dave Dusick,
just talked to Joe Whisler on the phone. He's still at the hospital after a nasty ride at Lincoln Park Speedway tonight...but, already making bad jokes, so I'm going to assume he's ok. Thanks to all those who called / texted to help out...
