The only major injury is 2 broken rib on his left side. I'm sure it will take his young body a little while to recover but please keep him in yalls prayers! As we all know the racing family is a strong family and prayers are powerful! Thanks again for all the kind words I believe they have helped to keep his spirits up!

Great news Joey. And hey, the "famous sidekick" as your dad refers to him, wanted to make sure I passed along his best heal-up-soon wishes. We'll see you in a couple of weeks!

Re: Jeffs update

Thanking our heavenly Father for holding our buddy in the palm of his hand. You are a miracle Jeff and we are thankful God isn't finished with you here on Earth quite yet. Get well soon!!!
Love and prayers,
Mike and Emily Volkman

Re: Jeffs update

Thoughts and prayers my friend. Glad to see you survived such a horrific crash and time will help heal. Not much more that I can say but get well soon.

Re: Jeffs update

I only met Jeff once a couple of years ago at Las Vegas while parked in line.
He is a great guy and really fun to be around.
Get well soon Jeff. You are one lucky guy to have survived that and the man upstairs must have been riding along to make that happen.

I also drive one of these and am curious on what brand of tire it was that blew and how old the tire was. I just bought two new steer tires and am concerned I bought the right ones.

Get well soon.

Re: Jeffs update

Jeff, You are a very lucky man. Get well soon. I, Casie, Twila & Boots are looking forward to seeing you at the track again soon.

Re: Jeffs update

Just a note..... Mike Pearson, D2 SS racer also blew a steer tire on the way to Gainesville last week. He was able to control the rig but this should be a warning to all of us!! Check your tires every time before you go to a race. Tire pressures and tire manufacture dates are important! I'm not saying doing this would have prevented either of these blow outs but why chance your life on it! Jim

So glad you are doing better Jeff!

After seeing the massive destruction on Jeffs rig I feel very lucky. My tires had plenty of tread but were timed out on age. I will be changing my steer tires at least every 4 years from now on.
Lesson learned. Jeff was very lucky to crawl out of that wreckage alive. Get well soon Jeff
On a side note I keep my speed down. Usually I run 65 mph. Sit back relax and enjoy the ride.

Re: Jeffs update

After seeing the pictures, Jeff is a very lucky man. God was definitely riding with him. Miracles happen each day and I think this falls in that category.

Re: Jeffs update

God Almighty was with you and His Angels protected you from this nasty wreck!
Get well my friend; we are praying for you for a quick recovery!
God Bless!

Re: Jeffs update

Yikes. Heal fast to one of the best comedians in Stock eliminator, the Friday night Matt and Jeff shows were hilarious.
