Salazar injured
Salazar has been rather seriously injured in a test at Indy.
http://sports.excite.com/news/04172002/v7939.html Hope everything's okay. |

That sounds rather nasty- latest update is that he is in a critical but stable condition. Best of luck for a speedy recovery

Bad thing to a motorsport veteran. Hope he pulls through and can get back in the cockpit.

I've heard on Autosport that he has sufered a torn vertebral artery that sounds serious to me, and whether he competes in the 500 I should think is the least of his worries.
Is this the guy that got a lesson on kick boxing by Nelson Piquet after they clashed in the 1982 German GP? |

Yes, Oversteer, he is that same Piquet boxing sparring.
My wishes of best luck and a fast and completely recovery to Eliseo. |

Whoaa, that's horrible!
 He's out for the rest of the season. Here's an update from Autosport: http://www.autosport.com/newsitem.cf...8641&series=18.The good news is of course that he is awake and speaking.

I think Donnie Beechler will replace Eliseo Salazar for the rest of the season.
That will be a normal choose for A.J. Foyt because the car as already a sponsor. Beechler was after his accident in the first practice of the Disney race replaced by Airton Dare. |

Ritchie Hearn will get the drive in Nazareth. BTW Trebor, IRL no longer races at Disney World Speedway. Beechler was injured at Homestead, and he is not ready for a return just yet.

Sorry, I made a mistake about the first race of the IRL season.
It was Homestead and not the Disney World Speedway. Richie Hearn is a very good choose. He was already very succesfull in IRL before a drove Champ Cars. |

that sounds like a bad injury to me , i hope all things go well for Eliseo and he can recover quickly.
and richie hearn is to replace him ???? oh well good luck Richie. on another note , I could hae sworn the Eliseo was retiring at the end of last year ??/ im positive i heard this statement sometime last year and he was gonna finish the season and retire , but then all of a sudden he is back racing this year ??? did he change his mind or did I just get this totally wrong ? |
