We have received word that fellow Super Pro Racer and friend RICK POWELL has been diagnosed with lung cancer

Rick will start chemo on Thursday October 18.

I am sure Rick would love to hear from Motorplex friends and family during this difficult time

Address: Rick Powell **4561 Powell Dr. ** Mt Pleasant, Mi 48858

Thoughts and Prayers are with you my Friend

UPDATE 12/4

RICK WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR CARDS & SUPPORT!!

HE HAS GOOD DAYS AND BAD DAYS BUT IS IN GOOD SPIRITS THANKS TO HIS RACING FAMILY.

We would like to thank everyone that participated in the 50/50 to benefit Rick at the banquet.

Thanks to Everyone

2/14/08

I am very pleased to report that 3 of the tumors are gone and doctors are now optimistic that with spot radiation

(20 sessions) and possibly a couple rounds of chemo that they can help Rick with the other two tumors still remaining. Rick called and was flying high which is very good news and reports that his doctor is coming to watch

Rick race this summer.

Please continue to pray for Rick and remember to send those get well cards. Miracles are possible. He has shocked

all the doctors. Apparently they do not know about the will power of a drag racer!!!!! Go Rick!! We are all with you.
