    Default Chris Albin injured at HPT

    Chris was injured in an accident in his HP car in Monday's race. He apparently had a left front wheel bearing fail which caused him to go straight off at turn 3, impacting the concrete wall at a high rate of speed. Chris was alert when the safety crew arrived but complaining of neck pain. The latest info I got was that he cracked the C2 vertabrae. He will be in the hospital for a couple of days, but he should make a full recovery. Please keep Chris in your thoughts. Get well soon Chris!

    Sorry it's ANY injury, but glad it's not worse. I cross posted this on the ITAC site as well. Get better quick Chris, IT needs you back at the CRB table!
