if he was in so much pain and having numbness is his arms/hands should he have even been behind the wheel at the smackdown? Not implying this cause the wreck, I could care less about the accident as far as whose fault etc. it's racing crap happens. But if his health was so bad and his symptoms were so severe he should have started this surgery process sooner no matter how bad the desire to race is. Safety should always be of upmost importance!!

If Drivers didn't race because they were in pain you wouldn't see many drivers out there past 25. Once the green flies a lot of that pain goes away. It's 2 days later when they are at home trying to get out of bed in the morning that it is probably most apparent.
The 2 guys that a couple have mentioned would be great choices. Chase and Kt can both wheel a car that has been proven week in and week out during USAC competition. The problem that would arise here is that both of these drivers have their own car inside the top 10 of USAC points. Not saying neither one wouldn't be honored to get that caliber of a ride, but lets face it they will not be in the TSR 20 next year. Yes I know the point fund does not pay a great deal of money, but to those 2 it would be a lot. That would be a tough choice to make, go drive the best equipment money can buy, or stay in the family owned car and be able to race the next season.
My best guess would be Bobby East will pilot the car to finish the season. He is already in at TSR, has proven he can win, and is not in his own points battle. Maybe not the fans choice, but probably the easiest and quickest for TSR right now.

What about Daron Clayton! The guy could win right off the bat, and not to mention he's got a great fan base, and very fan friendly. He's been fast ever since he started back up this year. Yeah he wrecked once, but do you want to run up front, or a be a field filler? Also, I agree Chase Stockton would be a good canidate, or heck what about TMez? I loved his interview at the Smackdown!

Lets not start a battle of who has more money between the two. Kt might have picked up a new sponsor this year, but it takes a lot of money to keep an operation going. As his dad stated his funds are not endless, and in this sport you can always use more money. It's Stockon by the way just to clarify.
