John Natalie Jr's Surgery A Success

#13 John Natalie Jr
Houtzdale, PA (7/7/06) –Today at 6:45AM, John Natalie Jr. under went surgery on his left hand at the State College University Orthopedic Hospital, and Dr. Ellis was successful in reattaching the bone fragment with three pins to Natalie’s thumb. The pins will remain in place for 3-4 weeks, and Natalie Jr is expected to be back to racing just in time for the final rounds of the WPSA Series at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ on August 19-20th, and the last round of the ATVA MX Nationals at Ballance Moto X in Bowling Green, KY on September 3rd.

Despite having three pins inserted into his hand on his 31st birthday, John Natalie Jr remains in good spirits, but unfortunately, he will not be able to make it out to the WPSA race in Taylorville, IL as originally expected because he is just not up to traveling anywhere this weekend, but he will be at the next round of the ATVA MX Nationals in Walnut, IL at the Sunset Ridge MX Park on July 15-16th.

Since John wasn’t going to be able to make it to Illinois this weekend, here is a short message from John Natalie Jr.

“First, I would like to thank everyone for their well wishes, and I can’t wait to get back to the track to see everyone. As you all know, I won’t be able to ride for the for the next couple of weeks, but I will still continue to jog and train as much as I can, so I will be in the best condition possible for when I return to riding and racing.

I plan on wrapping up the 2006 season by racing in the final rounds of the ATVA Motocross Nationals and the WPSA Series. Also, I plan on racing in the final three GNCC races for some extra seat time.

For 2007, I plan on coming back faster and stronger than ever, so I can regain the ATV Motocross National Champions that I came so close to winning again this year before my accident at Steel City.

Thanks again to all my fans for their support and of course my sponsors Honda, Maxxis, Shift, Elka, HMF, Rage Racing, and the many other great companies that have supported me through 2006.
