It is often said that laughter is the best form of medicine.
One
could see the look of determination in Creasy's eyes, a driver who has
always defied the odds and won. His injury was just another chapter in
a lifetime story of challenges.
That isn’t necessarily the case for Dale Creasy Jr.
Instead, Creasy prefers the smell of nitro and the rush of 300 miles
per hour in less than five seconds as his medicine – and so far it is
working wonders for the 50-year-old Nitro Funny Car driver from
Beecher, Illinois.
Having sat out the past year with a broken leg and multiple fractures
in the lower portion of his body, Creasy is ready to put the accident
that resulted in over a dozen surgeries and the loss of a potential
championship season behind him and return to the track where it all
happened later this month – Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada.
