Dan Reardon – Head
Comment: Details have been hard to come by, but we have heard that Dan is pretty sore from his heat race crash and that a press release on Dan’s condition will be forthcoming, so stay tuned to Racer X Online.
(Update: Word from Dan Reardon's camp is that Reardon suffered a grade-two concussion and a mild strain to his right medial knee ligament in his spectacular heat-race crash at Anaheim I. He will be out for Phoenix, but hopes to be back in time for a second shot at Anaheim, at Anaheim II.)
