Get well soon, Lance!

Lance DeWease, number 30c, whose motto is, "Trust your instincts" either didn't trust his instinct, or didn't have a very good instinct on Friday night at Lincoln Speedway. When the axle of his Sprint car broke while exiting turn two, the car flipped and landed hard on its LR Framerail. The compression broke two vertebrae in his neck. Lance had a successful surgery on Monday, and the doctors got everything pieced back together smoothly. DeWease will remain in the York Hospital for a couple more days, then he has a three- to six-month recovery. In six months, it will be April, and racing starts at the end of March, so he's only going to miss two races. Filling in for LD in the 30c car on Friday night will be Brian Leppo. Lance is one of my personal favorite drivers, and I was heartbroken to find out about this. So, get well soon, Lance!
