Michelle Lindsay, owner of TOBC Racing, which has won multiple Daytona 200 races, underwent successful surgery on June 14 in Falls Church, Virginia, to remove a pancreatic cancer tumor, according to a post on Facebook made by her husband Myles Wilson.

On June 15, Wilson posted: 

“Hi Everyone,

“Just want to update everyone on Michelle A. Lindsay’s status. She’s out of surgery and in recovery. Everything went phenomenal. Honestly couldn’t have gone better. No visual spreading, got the whole tumor. She will probably be awake in a bit, but pretty out of it. So if you get some texts and messages that don’t make sense; blame it on the drugs.”

In a text message, Lindsay wrote to Roadracingworld.com: 

“The first hurdle is done! Many more but the biggie is over. Thank God! 

“They told me I had to do 7 laps around the unit. I did 15…was making good time too until I caught a lapper in the corner but I smoked her on the straight!”

People wishing to send messages to Lindsay can do so via her Facebook page, www.facebook.com/michelle.a.lindsay.7, and they may also send cards and flowers to her at Inova Fairfax Hospital, in Falls Church, Virginia. Lindsay expects to be in the hospital for at least the next week.

Lindsay’s TOBC Racing won the Daytona 200 three times (2015, 2017, and 2018) with rider Danny Eslick.
