I didn't see Blake's accident with Shane Hmiel, and he didn't make it out for the B, can anyone give me an update? He was having such a great run. Hopefully they can get it together before tomorrow.

Hmiel landed on him. The downtubes were flexed, the injectors were compromised. All is well health-wise, but the car wasn't runnable.

I'm glad to hear all is well health-wise. That one worried me with the way the wheel came down on the cage. Was hoping the wheel didn't somehow get in there...felt better when he got out in a short amount of time.

That was a bad deal, he was having a great Sprint Week. Keep up the good racing Blake.

I too was very impressed with him Sunday at Kokomo. Is this a USAC team or a local only deal?

We will be back at Haubstadt for the final ISW race. We decided to take a couple days off to rebuild a different car. We are just a family funded team with some help from Don Smith and First Financial bank here in Terre Haute, we just use one of Forsythe`s trailers to haul the car. Thanks for all the well wishes.
