Sportsman Driver Hits Wall at Atco

I just saw this and thought we should show our concerns for this driver as well.

Francis Ross, 56, of Milford, N.H., was driving his 2004 Chevy Cavalier when he lost control and crashed into the wall, state police said. The car caught fire and Ross' face was burnt.

Absolutely. It looks like he's likely a Super Gas driver, and needs our prayers all the same. This happend yesterday.

Update.
It 9:30am friday. i just got of the phone with Francis.. he said that Chick has an injury to his kidney area, 2nd degree burns to his face, they are inspecting his mouth and throat for burns this morning, and he has some bleeding in his brain... the doctors told him that it doesn't appear that anything is life threatening at this time. He will know more this morning when further testing is done. They have him drugged up to remain unconscious for his own good..
Francis has been told that Chick was awake in the ambulance ride. So thats a good sign.. So suffice it to say that, he took a hell of a pounding, and is in rough shape... ill let you guys know more when i hear it.. I told francis about everyone's concern on the internet, and he sends his thanks.

He and his family will be in my prayers. I hope he will have as speedy a recovery as possible, and a complete recovery.

The news story said it was Frances Ross that was driving. I'm assuming this is his wife and the paper got the names mixed up?

Sounds like he got pretty banged up. I'll keep him and his family in my prayers and thoughts.
