Prayers for Tom Patterson, longtime sprint car driver, who is hospitalized after a hard crash Friday night at Kalamazoo Speedway. Patterson was racing with Auto Value Super Sprints.
Yes, Tom.... get well soon. We are all hoping for the best. Always liked your posts.
And Tom might not say it, but the Adult OCD in me will: Tom spells his last name with only one "t" in it. Nonetheless, thanks for bringing this unfortunate incident to our attention, Midget 89. He has lots of friends.

"Spent some time with him this afternoon after he got out of recovery. He is in good spirits, surgery went well ribs and lung will take some time. Typical Tom and a true racer said he didn't like that car anyhow but was worried about the engine because the tach hit 9000. Was more concerned about that before the safety crew even had him out of the car!"
