I watched this crash happen, it was very scary... I was amazed and relieved when he clenched his fist and made a sound after lying still for so long.
I'm hoping and praying for a miracle, just in case he needs one.

I have only seen Matt race a few times. But my thoughts are with him and his family at this time.

Ah Matt, anything any I can do, just ask.
Anything.
Watching you race and win was an absolute pleasure.

Absolutely shocking news. I'm very sorry for Matt and his family. I can only hope that Matt will build a new life for himself in time.

I am shocked and saddened beyond words at this most recent bit of news. This is an absolute tragedy for Matt, family, friends, and for everyone who enjoyed seeing Matt race. My thoughts go out to Matt at this, what must be a very difficult time ahead.

Matt, know that if you ever need anything this community will be here for you 110%.
