RonKrisher Update 9:10 PM
Ron was released from Methodist Hospital about 7:30 PM. Karen drove him to the track to his car hauler, where a number of Pro Stock racers/crew members came by to check on him. He was still chatting when I left him at 8:30 PM. He's alert, able to move around (slowly), has a fractured left rib, burned left arm and back, left hip bruise.
I was at the race car when he was removed through the driver's door opening by a doctor, who told me later, "The HANS device saved his life".
