It is with regret that I inform the fans that driver Johnny
Rodriguez will withdraw his name from competing this weekend at the
Checker Auto Part / Budweiser Western World Championships at Manzanita
Speedway due to an injury. Rodriguez, who drive's the Mark Priestley
owned #7, was involved in a violent wreck that took him out of the lead
during the B main event Saturday night at the Oval Nationals in
Perris. Since the wreck, Rodriguez has been dealing with vision
problems and signs of a serious concussion. He had a CT scan on Monday
afternoon and is still awaiting detailed results. He is optimistic
about finishing the year at the Kindoll Classic on Nov 18 in
Priestley's car.
Rodriguez was leading the B main event with three laps to go when on
a single file restart Danny Sheridan, in the Pace Electronics #18, slid
him on the bottom trying to take the lead. Contact followed and
Rodriguez flipped violently into the wall and catch fence in turn two.
Sheridan went on to win the race while Rodriguez was left with a
destroyed race car and injuries that will sideline him for an
undisclosed amount of time. This race was transferring the top 12 cars
to the 40-lap main event.

Too bad for Johnny. Got to meet and talk with him this summer at the Midget Nationals. Head injuries are nothing to rush...

Nice politically correct way of bashing another driver too (note the last 2 sentences). I guess this board is getting "nicer".
Get well soon, Johnny!!! Best of luck when you do return.

Watch the video clip of the wreck on racewayvideo.com and you will clearly see that when Johnny "drove" over the right rear of Sheridan, Sheridan was in the lead. I know facts are hard to take sometimes but they are worth mentioning. I like Johnny but to slam Sheridan for what could have been prevented by Johnny is odd. I always thought the driver who was leading was the leader...maybe I have had it wrong all along.
