He was treated for a sprained neck and released. ”He’s OK, just a little sore,” said Robbie’s mother, Liz, who was watching at trackside with husband Ryan Hackett and other family members. ”It scared him a little when they put a neck brace on him. He said, ‘Mom, did my daddy ever go through something like this?’ ”(Tennessean)(4-7-2001) UPDATE 3: Robbie suffered a strained neck, and his parents mother Liz and stepfather Ryan Hackett sustained badly jangled nerves. ”It scared him and us more than anything,” Liz said afterward. ”As soon as things calmed down a little, he asked, ‘Mom, when can I race again?’ ” Not for a while. ”The experience has made me re-evaluate the situation,” Liz said. ”We will continue to let Robbie practice, but we’ll wait awhile before he ventures into the competitive part. I know how badly he wants to get on the track, but I’ve got to make decisions that I feel are best for him.”(Tennessean)(4-10-2001)
