Tina Gordon doing OK after Atlanta Wreck
Tina Gordon is at home in Cedar Bluff, Alabama resting comfortably after a crash on lap 45 of the EasyCare Vehicle Service contracts 200 on Saturday at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Gordon suffered a concussion as well as a broken right fibula in the accident. On a positive note, these injuries were not to the same leg that was broken in a crash two years ago in Charlotte.
Doctors did not cast the right leg, but did put it in a boot. Gordon will have to stay off of the leg for one to two weeks to let the fracture heal itself. While things do look positive for the next race, Gordon's injuries will be evaluated again in a couple of weeks and a decision on her prognosis for the Martinsville race will be made at that time.
Tina would like to thank Duke and Rhonda Thorson and everyone else at ThorSport Racing as well as her sponsors, Vassarette lingerie and Microtel Inns & Suites for all of their support. Gordon and her family would also like to thank Ed Clark, Angela Revell, and the rest of the staff at Atlanta Motor Speedway for their help in getting her entourage to and from the hospital on Saturday. Tina's thoughts are with Rick Crawford and Hank Parker, Jr., and she is hoping for a speedy recovery for them as well. She would also like to say thanks to all of the drivers and fans who have called and written with get well wishes.
