Two-time defending Nitro Funny Car champion returns from Edmonton hospital after accident at Castrol Raceway    

Dale Creasy Jr. has started the long road to recovery. Though the details of his accident and injuries have been well-documented, what Creasy wants to bring to the forefront is the large outpouring of well-wishes, thoughts and prayers of the entire IHRA racing community.

“It really has been overwhelming and means more to me than anyone could ever know,” Creasy said. “There have been so many cards, so many emails, so many phone calls…this has really helped my spirits.”

Creasy was released from the Edmonton hospital Saturday, July 19. He is now at his home in Beecher, Ill. where he has started the rehabilitation process.

His body will take some time to heal, but Creasy’s mind is ready to go when it comes to drag racing. In fact, Creasy will be in attendance at the Torco Northern Nationals at US 131 Motorsports Park in Martin, Mich. Aug. 1-3.

“I really miss being at the track,” he said. “Every weekend, all my life, I’ve been going to the race track and that’s been the toughest part. Not being in Grand Bend killed me…I wanted to know everything that was going on there. I spent a lot of time on the phone with people at the race, finding out what was going on. I can’t wait to get out there to see everyone.”

Creasy does have a large pile of medical bills stemming from his accident. A fund has been established by Godspeed Ministries to help with his medical expenses.
