Irvan Launches Head Injury Website
Ernie Irvan, who retired from racing midway in the 1999 season due to severe head injuries, has launched a Web site dealing with the subject (Ernie Irvan’s Race2Safety) and offering advice for others suffering from such injuries.
”Every 24 seconds there’s another head injury in this country,” said Irvan, 46, winner of the 1990 Daytona 500.
”It’s an epidemic. People don’t realize how bad it is.”
