Stock and Super Stock have been postponed till Sunday morning. Wrecks and oil downs have delayed this event.

DRC reported that one of the delays was for a medical emergency in the pits. Any word on who it might have been?

Hey Dan Moore, you're #1.

RIP Mark Graham

Hey Joe, Heard it was Bart Graham s/st no word on cond. but heard he's at Shanes in G-ville

A racer had an apparent heart attack in the pits. The Alatchua County F.D. and Safety Safari were right there. I am a 33 year veteran Firefighter/Paramedic and I can say the job done by all medical workers I witnessed was fantastic and professional. The racer had no pulse and was not breathing, when they loaded him into the Rescue Unit he had a pulse. Enroute to Shands Hospital after cardioversion (shock) in the unit he became wake and alert! The statistics on this happening is normally very low, about 2%. Truly a miracle! Jim

Chris "drooze" Wertman · 02-20-2010, 09:13 PM

Wow....no kidding...great work.....by them. GREAT.

Hope all goes well for him and his family.

Good thing I didnt witness it....that sort of thing "wrecks" me for weeks. May sound selfish but it really shakes me up.

Im glad it was handled well, that the important first step , without it, the second isnt so pleasant.

This is unsettling news. For those of you that may not know, Bart is the son of Mark Graham who passed away last year after suffering from a heart attack.

I just spoke with Gainesville Raceway RFC track chaplan Phil Greene. He told me he was waiting for Tom Ratliff to return to the track from Shands hospital and he would call me with a update.

Please keep Bart in your thoughts and prayers.

Hey Dan Moore, you're #1.

RIP Mark Graham
