Update on Tina Wheeler! I  wasnt there to see the race I am just posting what I was told as far as the crash! She was racing her mini stock main and I beleave went to avoid a car that spun in front of her and hit the wall very hard and rolled her car. I was told she also broke the wall!

  I do know this part! Thats when she was taking to KMC in lots of pain! She has a fracurted wrist, She had to have her fingers sewed shut  bc it was split open with the bone hanging out! She lost a nail and she has deep tissue brusing in her jaw! They thought she had broke it but with all the testing it showed it was a deep brusing! She also has Bumps and LOTS of Brusies all over! She is home now recovering and very sore!  Hope you get to feeling better soon Tina!
   Thanks, Shelley Crawford

P.S. I have picture of her from the hospital last night! I just dont know how to post them if anyone knows how just P.M. me!

wow great pictures tom.    glad tina is ok

I just went to see my sister and take her presciptions to be filled. She is in tons of pain laying on the couch trying not to move at all. She has ice packs around her neck and chest to get the swelling and burising to be as little as possibile. I'm glad that she is so freakin tuff and that she didnt get hurt any worse then she did. I will have pics of the car if anyone would like to see the aftermath.

Good to know she is doing OK. I just happended to be standing in turn 3 when it happened. Wow. Hard hit.

Very sorry to hear she lost a nail !!!

Tina is very greatful and thankful for everyones thoughts and concerns for her. The medication they gave her makes her very tired so she is sleeping as much as possible.
And she said thanks Chris for the concern of her nail. Lol

All of the pictures show what CAN happen.

ANYONE who drives a race car wishes the best for Tina and a quick recovery.

We ALSO want to be thankful for the SAFETY RULES that have been put in place so we can endure crazy stuff like that and be back to race again.

Thank you track promoters and tech/safety inspectors!

We gave you a hard time all season long, BUT, because of you, we WILL be back to race next year!!!

Thank you ALL for your prayers and concerns & all the phone calls & texts!!! I am in alot of pain severe whiplash, seatbelt burns to my neck, fractured hand, the index finger is broken with the bone sticking out they have removed the nail an sewed it back shut I have to return to the hospital today to re evaluate my hand and finger. Hopefully I can recover quickly!! Thanks to all the speedway staff for helping the paramedics get me out of the car!!!
