17. Collected – Sway

Collected – When a car is caught in an incident that they did not cause. If a car spins and is struck by a second car to a stop, the second car is said to be collected.

Everyone from the fans waiting in the lobby to the pressing media pushing their way past security, wanted to know what happened and why?

The biggest question was with a nearly five million dollar contract racing in the Cup series, why was Jameson allowed to race sprint cars?

When tragedy hits the racing community, it shakes them to their very core. No one is left unaffected in the wake which spreads past the confines of concrete walls and cheering fans. It’s a tragedy that can rip you apart and leave you wondering if there will be any pieces left.

We understood the feeling and knew what this meant.

The news hit the media instantly, our phones rang non-stop. The hours and days went by slowly as I ignored my phone. Anyone I wanted to talk to was here already.

Most of that time waiting was spent fielding the media and consoling our family but there were times where I just sat and stared at that photo of him next to the condom ad. I also called his cell phone over and over again to hear his voice. Every time it made me cry.

Would he wake up? Would he remember me? Would he remember his family?

Only time would tell. By Friday night, he was still listed in critical condition and the doctor was going in again to control more bleeding in his brain. So far, it wasn’t looking good for him.

Alley was kind enough to let me stay with Nancy, I was worried about her, and Kyle dealt with all the media and Speedweeks issues. Daytona would be starting in just two weeks and as of now, Jameson wasn’t awake and there was no way he would make Daytona.

This left one option. We hired another driver that was racing in the Nationwide series to step-up.

Easton Levi who was driving for Tate in the Nationwide series for the last few years and won last year’s championship. As soon as Tate heard, he asked if we wanted Easton in the car. After talking with Kyle and Mason, they agreed he would be a good addition.

Essentially that decision would have been up to Jimi or Jameson, who was a partial owner of Riley-Simplex racing. Randy still acted as the vice president but Jimi usually made it clear he didn’t make decisions like that regarding drivers.

Now is where all the legalities came in.

Somehow, and I don’t exactly know how or when this happened, but Jameson had listed me as the Power of Attorney for the company if something were to happen to him or Jimi.

Imagine my surprise.

With my new found responsibility, I turned to Tate and Kyle who both thought Easton would be a perfect fit in Jameson’s No. 9 Simplex car and team up nicely with Bobby Cole who was now back in the No.
