Doctors have not given injured Pro Stock Motorcycle racer Angie Smith a timetable for her return to competition, but husband Matt Smith said, “Right now, we’re trying to have her maybe come back at Vegas.” That is the next race on the schedule, the Oct. 27-30 Nevada Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “She wants to just come back and hang out, not ride, but my goal is to try to have her come back for Pomona and hang out and show everybody and then go to the banquet. So we'll see how things go,” he said.
 
He reported that she has eight broken toes and that “eight bones were broken in her foot. So she got eight of the 10 of them.” When Tony Stewart facilitated Angie Smith’s trip home from St. Louis to North Carolina a few days after her accident and the group posed for a picture, she amazingly was standing.

“They had two hard casts on her and then a walking boot on. So they had it where she could stand up – not put total pressure, but at least put some pressure, on them,” her husband said. “Her heels are fine. It's just the front of her feet is what was broke.”
 
Smith, who suffered road rash so severe that it shredded her forearm to the bone, has had one surgery and faces a second one this coming Wednesday.
 
“I hope that's the last one, but we don't know yet, for sure,” Matt Smith said. But he said, “I think you'll definitely see her in Pomona. There's a chance you might see her in Vegas, but we'll wait and see.”
 
Angie Smith’s mother-in-law and sister both are nurses, so they take turns changing her dressings and caring for her needs. “So all in all,” Matt Smith said, “she's in good shape and good spirits. She just wants to get back out here.”
