Jeff was the other rider in the crash with Bryan Cassell.
Does any one know how he is doing?

Jeff is better. He is a regular on this board and the JenningsGP board, fizzer400.. Ross Champion, called me the next morning. Jeff had been at the hospital and had already a few operations on his hand. He has lost a finger and they were working on a couple others with the hope of saving them. Other than that he was resonably unhurt, at least not life threatening. He had no idea how the accident happend and was very very distrought about having being involved in this unfortunate event. I was on the phone with Ross to PLEASE tell Jeff that this was not his fault in my opinion, and in the opinion of 3 other friends of mine who saw the events unfolding as the Ducati suddenly lost power. George and Darla Martinelli from the Jennings track school went to see Jeff in the hospital and assured him as well that this was not his fault..
Get well Fizzer...
Thanks for the update! Get better Jeff!

Wasn't there, didn't see it, but coming out of turn 4 suspension is flat, sight is blurry, and you are flying. There is no way that ANY rider can compensate for much of anything. Tell Fizzer that there is no way anybody can remotely feel he had any responsibility for how it panned out. Anybody and everybody was just glad to see he pulled through alive and thanking God it didn't happen the moment they were there. Timeing just sucked. Tell him to get well soon, body and mind.
I can only imagine what Jeff must be going through.
:'(
My heart hurts.
I would like to say thank you to all those who helped out in this tragic situation. Our thought and prayers are with Brian's family. We are deeply saddened by this accident. As Ross mentioned, Jeff is doing better physically everyday. Again please keep him in your thoughts and please also pray for Brian's family as we will be doing. I always knew the racing "family" was a close one but I am still realizing how great everyone is. Special thanks to Ross for ALL his help. I could not have done it without him. Please post any messages for Jeff and I will relay them.

Jeff, we are thinking of you! I wish you a speedy recovery, body and mind. Please know that Bryan lived a wonderful life! Racing at Daytona was his dream. He wouldn't have wanted to go any other way! Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you and your family through this! I look forward to meeting you when you are better!

Sarah, Heather, Jeff and families.
I can't possibly imagine what you all are going through. May you find God's peace and guidance through this trial in life, and accept and lean on the support and love of others.

Heather, I've had a lump in my throat since I read about the accident yesterday. You and the rest of Bryan's family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Jeff and Sarah, hang in there. I'm very glad to hear that Jeff wasn't hurt any worse.

Thank you, Jeff. I think you're right on.
We are all a family. Sarah, tell Jeff we all said, "Hello!"
It's hard to put into words how saddened we are. Tell Jeff all of us at Kegel's race team wish him a speedy recovery and our thoughts and prayers are always with you. Keep strong, our family is your family! Mark Bernard and the Kegel Team
Jeff,
I am sorry that you got badly injured too, and that you got caught up in this bad accident. I know a lot of attention is going to Bryan, but I care about what happened to you too. I wish you the best. I hope you heal up in body and spirit.
