ASA 2001 Schedule Announced


American Speed Association (ASA) Update

ASA driver, David Anspaugh, injured in a practice session in Milwaukee is slowly recovering according to his family. Anspaugh, who had been in a coma since the accident is now awake and showing minimal responses to the hospital environment. While he still can not focus on objects, his eyes are open and he is now breathing through his mouth and nose. The hospital reports that David is consistently responding to pain stimuli and is slowly recovering.

His family has established a fund to help with the costs of medical care. Contributions may be made to:

Raising the Sup. First National Bank of Fremont Attn: Ginny Houlton P.O. Box 357 Angola IN 46703

The name of the fund is a reference to the fact that besides being a popular ASA driver, Anspaugh is the Superintendent of Schools for the Waldron Area Schools in Waldron, Michigan. Anspaugh holds a Doctorate in Educational Administration. The family states that any money in excess of medical expenses will be used to establish a scholarship for needy students.

The ASA announced its 2001 schedule. The 20 race schedule will be telecast on The National Network (TNN).
