Quotes

Michael Petersen, Owner: “Obviously, our full attention
and all of our thoughts are centered-around Tomas right now.
We are all very relieved that he is stable and alert.
It was a very hard hit. In the short time he has been with 
the team he has made a huge impact on all of us as a driver
and as a friend. So something like this has a very big
emotional impact on you and goes far beyond racing.
