Tony Long will be out of action next week at New Hampshire, staying in the mid-west to continue recieving medical treatment. Despite the severity of the accident, Long has suffered only a broken left leg, bruised ribs, abdominal lacerations and a massive concussion. He is cuurently in great condition, and is looking to be back in Extravaganza action soon. Bonanza teammate Jared Mogard will fill in his place while he recovers, with the fortune of the two schedules no more than a couple of states apart over the oncoming weeks. He will have to qualify for the show, with Ben Geer climbing to 35th in the standings and taking the #15 out. They are only three points back, so making the field and finishing just one spot ahead of Geer will put them back in provisional-land.
