he apologized because he is not supposed to be doing anymore dangerous stuff, I believe they said he has had 16 concussions and has been warned that anymore he may suffer permanent brain damage, when he crashed at daytona this year he didnt even know where he was after the crash. his parents, Decoster and suzuki want him to retire due to the possibility of further brain damage, it's a shame because there is nobody on the planet with more talent than travis, you will not find a more sincere or nicer person than him either. I spent a couple days with him at daytona in 99' or 2000 and sent him some of the pic's I took, he sent a thank you card and a jersey within 3 days, I dont have a clue how he got my adress but I was shocked he took the time to bother. He also is turning into a world class rally driver, god I wish I had 1/10 his talent!!!!
