Very sad news - and a reminder of how serious head injuries can be (and how fortunate we are that Cristiano is still with us). My sympathies go out to his family. :(

Dude, the crazy thing is that Steve King was sponsered by Ethanol... :eek:

Wow - didn't put 2 and 2 together when I read the article. Talk about a bad year for one sponsor - first Dana, now this :(

Here's King, Simmons, and a Funny Car driver at Indy:

Condolences to the King racing family.

(I'm shocked at reading the "additional info" on the King website....you will be too) :(

Ya, no kidding man. Why did it take a neurosurgeon so long to show up? :shakehead

There was probably more than one involved. That post is not a comprehensive list of his care.

Just horrible. Prayers for his family and friends. :(

Sad. :( Another Ethanol sponsored driver to die this year. Gotta wonder how those folks are feeling about getting into motor racing.
