That was a very bad crash on the front stretch between C. Budde(59) and Davies(99). I talked to Craig's family after the race. They said he suffered a concussion, bruises and bit his tongue. he was going to be held over night for observation, but felt he was going to be, okay. The car was a total waste. These are some really good people. Keep them in your prayers for a speedy recovery. Davies and his car did not appear to have suffered as much damage. Thanks for your time.
this is craig budde using his sisters iow name. I just want to let everybody know that i got out of the hospital at 5:52 am. i am a little bit sore in the chest, i think from the seat belts, and feel dizzy when I initially sit up getting out of bed for about 30 seconds. The car is a little bent, along with numerous bent bolt on pieces. It will be a little time until I am back at the track with a car but i will be back as a spectator and pit crew for my brother. I was able to fight with the nurses at the hospital so they did not cut off my driving suit. I want to thank everybody including the safety crews and everybody that helped at the track with whatever they did to help my family and pit crew.Also a big thank you to everyone for their
thoughts and prayers. If anyone needs more information they can contact me at 618 340 0762
thank you
CRAIG BUDDE
