Tire change details, stop the hole that led to a rib fracture, a lung collapsed

Chicago – JP Kelly just followed what his father as a young man who played hockey and acres when a flying frame fascinated him in his chest during a two -week race in the Bicono race.

Kelly picked up the background of Chen Van Gissberjin, his air key and duties stopped the hole.

That was his last station per day. The broken rib and lung dictated to the Infield Medical Center, then at the end to the hospital for a night overnight to make sure that his lungs were subjected to himself and his broken ribs were not in the risk of hole.

“Since I was a child, my father has always told me, unless your leg or something like this is broken, it is better to wake up on the ice and return to the bench,” Kelly said. “This is just a kind of standard for whom I was, and my father instilled inside me.

“Regardless of what is happening, you should make sure your job is finished and then worried about what is going on later. [air] Gun and I knew that I had a job to end it, so I went out there, and I finished it, then I dealt with everything that is happening yet. “

Kelly returned this week, ready to work in the cup race in the Chicago Street round, ready to change the tires for the favorite race in what he hopes is his second victory for this season.

“I feel good,” Kelly said. “I can do anything other than a heavy seat [lifting]But nothing will affect me on the hole. I am ready to go and reach this week. “

Kealele defines a high level of performance on a sporting stage. The search for Google for his prominent points will be highlighted as a professional Lacros player. When the league did not play during Covid, Kealey was recruited to become a member of the hole ritual.

Hockey rollers and lacroxal balls were injured. But there is no frame, which is relatively rare. AJ Allmender had stories of the tire change when he reached the hole, and hit the frame – which flew in the air to Kelly, who was running around his car in the adjacent hole.

“I was accustomed to the idea of ​​hitting a car,” Kelly said. “I have seen AJ Blow through his box, and I have verified its kind, because I was jumping from the wall, it has somewhat approached me.

“So when I reviewed, I was looking at his car to make sure it did not hit me, and as soon as my eyes appeared to reach my approaches at the back of our car, the tires hit me immediately. I didn’t have much time to respond.

Kelly said he was happy because the frame did not hit him in his head.

“When the frame hit me, I knew somewhat that I broke my rib,” Kelly said. “I felt Bob.

“But the first thing that comes to mind is to finish stopping, so I returned there and finished the mission … … Once I found some distress in breathing and I was struggling to breathe a little, when I knew that there was something wrong.”

Many members of the hole crew in elite teams are previous universities or professional athletes. NASCAR difference is like them because they have experience under high pressure and the ability to master a mission thanks to repetition after repeating in practice – with being able to improvise at the present time if necessary.

Kelly was not allowed to fly home from Pennsylvania after the injury, so he had to return to North Carolina. He obtained OK to travel to Chicago this week and did not hesitate to return to work.

When he played the role of the college of Lacros, Kelly said he played with torn ACL and eight months.

“It is part of it, right?” Kelly said. “We are all mathematical. If this is a part of what makes it enjoyable. You take strokes in any sport. Things happen in any sport you play … it does not change anything for me. I will go there and continue to do my work.

“Not anything will be in the back of my mind. I still jump over the wall and have the same intensity and the same motivation to go out there and success.”

While the crew wearing fire -in -being and helmets if they fell or get a car, Kealey knows that there is no way to protect itself from a flying frame.

Kelly said: “People were joking and asking whether I was going to wear a jacket, things like this,” Kelly said. “But I am not very worried about it.

“I will not put anything on this matter that will lead to my slowdown … … I am not worried about it. It was just a strange accident. I will go there and continue to do my job.”
