Derek back home and resting after Huset's Crash:

August 28th, 2003: After a scary wreck Saturday night at Huset's Speedway, Derek is back at home resting and recovering. Another competitor and him made contact, with the result being a violent flip into the outside retaining fence. He was knocked unconscious, and life flighted to nearby Sioux Valley Hospital, and put under the care of Randy Rygard. Derek would like to personally thank the Huset's Speedway Safety Crew, Doug Wolfgang for his call, and everyone else who has called or wrote Derek. "All of the overwhelming calls and cards i received have helped me in my recovery, and I can not thank everyone enough for their concern. I would also like to thank the medical staff at the hospital, esp. Randy Rygard in their professionalism and expertise in my treatment." Derek, thankfully, only came out of the entire deal with a severe concussion. Derek will be sidelined indefinitely, but you will see the 50D sprinter on the track Saturday Night with Brooke Tatnell filling in.
