Sounds like an old neck injury may have been aggravated.

And sorry guys, I was hoping the Camaro would run out of gas, and one of the Mazda's would overtake Curran

Congrats to Teddy Marsh and the Whelen team, they have been fast most of the year, but have had little luck. Got it done today.

Update on Joe Foster, he was released, and is headed home in Atlanta, trying to figure out how to get the Mazda ready for the next race at Laguna.

Joe is doing well, had us all worried. All he has is a concussion and a bad case of whiplash. The old injury was just aggravated and he'll be good to go in no time!
Sorry for the bad quality, blame my iPhone!

I think its terrible that GM provides little or no support to these Corvette teams. I was at blackdog speedshop and the manager was telling me that the Cadillac program is costing them nearly 5 million a year yet they wont spend a dime on the Corvettes in that field.
