"Live From" SGMP D2 LODRS - Page 8

Our great friend Wes Leopold Jr. won Competition Eliminator at SGMP this past weekend for his second win of this season, however the car was very badly damaged after passing the finish line at 164.55 MPH. The good news is after being cut from the car, taken to the hospital and released he's fine and on his way home to Pittsburgh.
God Bless!

Frank, Thanks for the update, I was wondering if he was okay and I hadn't seen anything. So glad all is well.

Saw on insidecompracing.com that he suffered a broken collar bone. He’s been putting together a great season so hope he can get healed and be able to repair the car. Great running car, just glad he wasn’t hurt worse.

I think it was 1995 At Bristol I had first round bye for number 1 qualifier and then I had another bye in the semifinals I can’t remember how many cars. So I ran Jim Reynolds in the final and won but dropped a valve at the finish line. Had to be towed to scales and winners circle. Was just my day I guess.
