Ed Susen (aka Tuna), motorcoach driver for Braun Racing team owner – Todd Braun – was the latest victim of a tornado in the Midwest. With his self labeled – Tuna Tour 2003, Tuna and the Newell motorhome began their trek to the Gateway International Raceway yesterday in preparation for this weekends NASCAR BGN Series event. As he approached the Illinois state line last evening, Tuna literally drove right into a tornado. The force picked up the motorhome and tossed it around before depositing it into a roadside ditch. Tuna, who was thrown around heavily in the encounter, received only minor injuries. Being towed behind the motorhome was a brand new enclosed trailer containing a company van, scooter and golf cart. It is believed at this point that everything is a total loss, but more importantly Tuna is doing well.(Braun Racing site)(5-8-2003)
