Good for him. I hope he's got his life headed in the right direction again.Quote:

I know there are literally about 8 people who actually watch or care abotu Indy Lights, but evidently, Arie Jr's checko was bigger for Alliance then Shane's.
Too bad. Shane is a real talent.
Ah that sucks :( I was really looking forward to seeing Shane behind the wheel, and seeing what he could do. Arie Jr should just hang it up. Its never going to "happen" for him and he's been copeting in FIL for like 8 years now. Having the record for most FIL starts is not a good thing...it just shows you couldn't move up. Even his two stabs at the 500 (and the one year he made it) he looked as shaky as Marty Roth.Quote:

Shane was seriously injured last night in a USAC qualifying incident. According to NASCAR.com, his condition has improved a lot since last night. Very hard hit though and I hope he'll be able to drive again...

Wow :eek: He's lucky his head wasn't chopped off. A miracle that he is not paralysed (as far as we know?).
Regardless of his wayward past, that's a sickening accident and I can only wish him a speedy recovery. Seeing any sort of roof first impact is horrible.
I saw this update at Autosport.

It sounds a little better for Shane. I hope he has a a speedy and full recovery.
