    I have an update on Joe Koenig for friends and fellow racers:

    Direct quote from one of his daughters, who also races: "He will be fine. He's got a broken rib, 4 ribs are detached from the sternum, and 5 hairline fractures on the hip. He can't walk or do much on his own but the car saved his life."

    And

    "And his spirits are great"

    I saw the car ONCE via the online stream, and it was NOT good. The fact that the cameraman in that corner then went out of his way to not show anything during the FCY laps didn't help things.

    Since the high profile televised fatalities of Dale Earnhardt and Greg Moore, most directors will not show replays of serious incidents during live telecasts.

    What he said.
    As an F&C worker, we're also told to keep any and all medical-related news off the radios, other than "driver OK" or "ambulance now". I'm sure the same goes for the TV crews.
