Default Uh oh..... Rolex 24 accident.

MEDICAL UPDATE: After an accident in the morning practice session, driver Patrick Small was transported to Halifax Medical Center, where preliminary tests were negative. Small will remain in Halifax Medical Center for another round of precautionary tests this afternoon."

14 GT Autometrics Motorsports
Patrick Small, Birmingham, AL; Mac McGehee, Jacksonville, FL; Tory Herring, Birmingham, AL; Bill Martin, Pinehurst, NC; Cory Friedman, Charleston, SC
Porsche GT3 Cup

Does this mean they are finished for the race? Hope the car and Patrick are ok.

Just spoke with Mac. Sounds like Patrick has been or will shortly be released from the hospital. Certainly has some pain. Happily, a backup car has been pressed in to service. Tomorrow will be a thrash for the guys turning wrenches. Team will run with the remaining four drivers.

Godspeed guys!

Jasko, wasn't Cory that guy at Roebling with you & Russell Friday night when we were all there?

Hope everything goes well for them the rest of the weekend.

I think Chad is out for the 24. Apparently he had broken bones and other injuries.
Good to hear those guys may get to run.
