Crash on the Asphalt

A friend of mine from church, Bob White, races "Midgets" on the asphalt (opposed to the dirt tracks around Central PA) and was racing in North Carolina over the weekend. I got a phone call at about 11:45 PM on Saturday night that he was in a bad wreck and taken to the hospital. Here's the Newspaper report.

The Ford Focus Midgets had an evening that could best be summed up as interesting, to say the least. The 35 lap race was marred by a horrific wreck that saw the 7 of Bob White catch another driver�s tire, shoot up the fence and roll four times along the retaining fence before bounding down the turn three embankment and coming to a stop against the infield wall. Remarkably, White was alright after being checked out at a local hospital.

I talked with him in person yesterday and today. Thank God that he was alright. He looked fine, but said he was pretty sore.
