Annandale Racing’s Ty Howard did not ride in practice Friday due to injury. Howard was riding in promoter practice Thursday when he caught his knee in a relief cut in the concrete rumble strips on the inside of turn seven. Howard’s knee slider was knocked off, his leathers ripped completely open and his knee twisted backwards, the impact almost pulling him off his bike. Instead of riding Friday, Howard went to have his knee examined by a local doctor.

At Friday’s riders’ meeting, AMA Pro Racing’s Ron Barrick said that he hoped the track would “do some grinding on the concrete there” to help ease the problem.
