My longer post about Kentucky Speedway a couple of weeks back got lost when the boards went down, but I'd rather see them back on that oval within driving distance of a majority of their core fanbase than rambling off to Calgary. I'm too lazy to re-post the benefits of Kentucky vs. some other venues, but you can catch my drift.

I just saw the crash...holy crap. Seems he's awake and alert.

Terrifying crash. Heart in your stomach waiting so long for any sort of word. Glad Wickens is awake and alert.

Good to hear that he came out of it alive. Hope his surgery goes well and there is no permanent damage.

Watching the video, it was unbelievably close to total disaster. He was probably a foot in either direction from suffering a direct impact to the head.
