    Just another reason why people need to read the article BEFORE casting judgement.

    Sorry to hear that and I hope Bobby heals quickly and completely. The timing is ironic Moody, following your comment regarding Tony Stewart's injury; (paraphrased) .... you can get hurt in a Sprint Cup car and you can get hurt riding your bike. Sometimes there's more truth than poetry on Sirius Speedway. Let's all be careful out there and keep Bobby in our thoughts.

  5. For all we know he could have hit a pot hole and launched himself over the handle bars. It happens all the time. In fact it just happened last week to our anchor man for our local new channel while he was doing a broadcast.

    I'll be surprised if he doesn't miss more than Atlanta. 3 broken ribs in a full containment seat? Ow
