    FREMONT, OH (June 30, 2005) - Randy Ford, son of Fremont Speedway promoter Jim Ford, was seriously injured after being struck by a sprint car Thursday night at the track. Randy, a former Fremont Speedway track champion, sustained a broken leg and dislocated shoulder and was taken by helicopter from the speedway to the Medical College of Ohio Hospital.
 
Family members indicate doctors were able to repair his shoulder and he is scheduled for surgery on his leg Friday and should be able to return home hopefully sometime this weekend.
 
"I want to thank all the fans, drivers and crews for their prayers and support of our family. It all means so much to Randy and Deb (his wife) and our entire family," said Jim and Joanne Ford.
