Might be why he declined to talk to Drake. Maybe he was in pain.

And he ran a strong night at Haubstadt the next night, until the last few laps. With 3 fractured vertebrae.

He should just hang it up for this year.

Yes, but what race drivers should do and what they actually do is rarely the same.

At least, from the way I read the story, his goal is like right about 3 months (AZ races Oct 24/25). Thats about what it seems to take to properly heal the vertebrae (people that come back sooner than that cause me concern). But, depending on his healing process there would be restrictions on the rehab he could do along the way. I wish him the best! He is a tough old school style racer; so I'm sure he will make a great come back when he is ready.

Does anyone know if he will put someone in the car to at least salvage owners points?

Maybe Cale Drake.🫣
