Exclamation Re: Jeremy Waibel

Jeremy has a concussion and is very sore. Something broke as he entered the finish that locked up the rear. He spun but didn't hit the wall. His helmet hit the roll bar repeatedly causing the injury. He was unable to get out of the car under his own power and had to be lifted out. Although this doesn't seem logical to be injured without impact, it can happen. It appears that when he hit the backs his seat moved back loosening his belt. This proves that we need to make sure that our seats are securely tied down. I stayed over night to make sure he was ok. He'll be fine but had the car rolled,as it tried to do, he could have been severly injured. Take this to heart, our stocker are going fast enough to hurt us and no one should take safety rules lightly.
