I sure do wish him well, and a healthy outcome! Sounds very much like what ended Mark Kinser's career. Mark still suffers some of those same symptoms today, all these years later.

Sorry to hear that, hope he gets better
Amazing it doesn't happen more often
& makes you realize how crazy those drivers must have been in the "pre-roll cage era"

I had no idea Mark was forced into retirement due to issues with concussions. I thought he just had enough and quit. You learn something new every day. I'm really hoping we having seen his final laps. It just won't be the same without watching that 69K driving off the bottom of turn 2 at Williams Grove like it was shot out of a cannon. But whether or not he keeps driving, I hope most of all that he can recover 100%.

Agreed. Whether he gets back to racing or not he's got a youngen to watch grow up and that's most important. Maybe she will someday take over the the old 69k 410 or maybe not. Get well soon Mr. Kreitz

Saw him in the Rita's Ice Cream Line at Kutztown last year...hanging out with the daughter...saw a great night of racing for the small cars.
cool little track with a great NO SCREWING AROUND MID WEEK SHOW...Beats the heck out of the Pizza Line at Selinsgrove waiting for the dust to settle between heat races.
Lincoln 1845 ft/.35 mile T1=118MPH
Eldora 2287 ft/.43mile T3=135MPH
Port 2716 ft/.51 mile T3=TBD
Grove 2792 ft/.53 mile T3=135MPH
Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH
