Torco Racing Fuels POWERade Top Fuel driver Doug Foley will not be able to compete at this weekend’s Torco Racing Fuels NHRA Nationals in Virginia due to a crash last week that has temporarily sidelined the team.
The eventual outcome of the accident after a two day stay in the hospital is a broken ankle and leg, four cracked ribs, a separated shoulder and a concussion, but as Foley puts it, “Except for a leg in a cast, I can still walk and that’s all that matters. But in the mean time, my family and I are extremely grateful for all the prayers and thoughts that have poured in from phone calls and e-mails. And I could never thank Torco’s Evan Knoll enough for the undeniable support for my wife Shelagh, my sons Douglas and Joseph, and our entire team.”
