Following a multi-truck accident on lap 44 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Saturday, Hank Parker, Jr. was airlifted to Atlanta Medical Center and held overnight for observation. All precautionary tests came back negative and Hank was diagnosed as having a compression fracture of his L-2 vertebrae.

After being released from the hospital Sunday afternoon, Hank had this to say, "It was a heck of a hit and my whole body is pretty sore, but I'll get plenty of rest and be ready to get back on the track at Martinsville." He continued, "My crew gave me a real hot rod, and I was looking forward to a great finish in my Sport Clips Toyota. I really appreciate Sport Clips sponsoring me for this one race deal, as well as the ongoing support of Toyota, Jenkins and Jenkins Attorneys at Law, and White House Foods. I especially want to thank all the fans for their thoughts and prayers; it means a lot to me to have their support.“

Hank and the No. 21 Toyota Tundra will make their next appearance on April 17, 2004, at the Kroger 250 when the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series returns to action in Martinsville, VA
