She had movement in her toes. Good news.
There is a "thread" in the gravel trap where people can send "get well messages" to Ashley. I put it in the gravel trap because I believe this goes beyond single seat racing and fans of all types of racing may want to let Ashley know of their desire to see her get well. |

She had back surgery last night and I understand that she is having "good movement" which is a welcome sign.

Anyone wanting to send get well messages to Ashley via the gravel trap forum that is collecting get well messages please do so now as I will be sending the forum to her PR guy tomorrow for him to print out and give to Ashley.

Update: Ashley's publicist says she wants back by the end of this season, but father says "let's not get hasty here."

She seemed a bit doubtful she'd be back talking to her in Montreal, so it's great to hear! She must be a fast healer...

Did anyone see Ashley race? It seems that she did OK first time back in the seat.

Yup, she was taking it very carefully, and holding back other cars for most of it... very conservative drive, but finished 4th.
I did a very extensive interview with her too, where she basically told her story in detail from accident to recovery - a very good read about recovering from a major injury, even if you're not interested in racing. It should be posted in the Ten-Tenths newsletter next weekend, as well as www.rfmsports.com very soon. I have to say though, I've never seen anything like the media attention she got during the weekend for a FF driver. There must have been 20 photographers around her when she got out of her car - only the Player's drivers had more. |

Thanks Jay, brings her over about as she is.
Good to see her racing again, from my hole (2a) it looked like sh was struggling to defend at times, but a good result for her return. Go Ashley |

Excellent young woman and excellent drive! Eat your heart out, Danica Patrick!
At a time when almost all the news you hear about teenagers is bad, it's heartening to have a heartwarming story like this to remind us of the good ones. |
