[AutoRockinRacing94]

His day started bad because he was released from the Red Horse Racing team.

shawn muldoons crash at oswego a few weeks ago was way woorse. he got a stuck throttle in to turn 1 hit head on and got knocked out. they hat to cut the car open with jaws of life to get him out. he has a broken spine 3 broken vertabrae 2 broken ankles and 3 broken ribs. he will never walk again

[SuperChaos22]

thats odd, considering he was walking around the pits a few weeks ago.

[cam21fr]

he did it a while ago. the first week of the season

[SuperChaos22]

yup. and now he is walking.... so "never walk again" was a lie.

[cam21fr]

@SuperChaos22 i was told he will never walk again. but he is now.

[nascarfanatic24]

NO WAY!!! Amen he survived! Johnny's awesome! The first time I went to a racing event, they were doing a class with these cars, and this one guy flipped, rolled through the catch fence, and the thing caught on fire. The dude died, and I didn't even know his name. Thanks be to god, for letting Johnny live!

[Jeff782420]

he could have died

[shortdawg69er]

Get well soon Johnny!

[clhoyt1003]

Always liked JB. I mean, who doesn't? He seems to be truly one of teh nicest, most genuine, down-to-earth people in the racing world.

I'm so glad it sounds like he is gonna be okay. Get Well Soon, Johnny!

[jwin122]

He was planning to race this one even before he was released from his truck ride...I'm a huge JB fan and I hope he recovers fully...he's the Mark Martin of the truck series in my opinion

[charlie991956]

if the team ran out of funds then why didn't that putz tj bell get let go, you don't disrespect a big three series champ like that, his former team bares some responsability.

[ramdodgetruck]

Hard to believe that last years truck champ cant find a sponsor. Get well soon Johnnie! Your a class act!

[straightedger9]

Im glad you will be ok Johnny......R.I.P.Carlos Pardo

[SlyHobbit]

He has been released. Broken ribs, and some burns. Thank God. RIP Carlos Pardos

[cnycarnut]

if johnny does make a full recovery and i hope so, i think it might be the end of his career so im glad he won the truck series last year and showed all of us he still had it after his rough time in cup.but he would have never probably raced that car if he hadnt been let got by his truck team so in the end everything does happen for a reason

[J3sT4ever]

he didnt get let go the team ran out of funds

[Sues99]

Watching this video is unbelievable. You watch these races and enjoy the event, but you never realize that one wrong move and your favorite driver could be seriously hurt or worse killed. Our prayers are with you Johnny.
