Renna Sidelined for Molson Indy Vancouver Due to Injury

 

(Engelwood Cliffs, NJ, August 28, 1998)- Mattco Raceworks driver, Tony Renna, was injured in a karting incident which will render him unable to drive his Lola in the PPG Dayton Indy Lights Molson Indy in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Renna was diagnosed by Human Performance Institute Medical Director, Dr. Michael Fulton, MD, an orthopedic surgeon based out of Daytona Beach, Florida.

Tony's left clavicle was fractured and minimally displaced by the impact of his collision, explained Dr. Fulton. The good news is with appropriate bracing, he will be able to heal with out surgical intervention. He is, also, involved in a rehabilitation program, which in part consists of strength training and rest. I have recommended Tony avoid competitive driving for at least another week.

Renna, also, missed testing in both Monterey and Thunder Hill due to his collar bone injury.

I am very frustrated I can't drive, but I am very anxious to get back in the car, commented Renna. I am doing everything Dr. Fulton recommends to help speed up the healing process. If all goes as expected, and Dr. Fulton gives the okay, I should be back for Laguna Seca.Mark Hotchkis, who substituted for injured Mattco Raceworks driver, Chris Simmons, during the earlier part of the season, is the likely candidate to substitute for the injured Renna for the Molson Indy in Vancouver.
