From the family: "Michael was just two months away from retiring to spend more time building racing engines and playing with his grandchildren when tragedy struck. He was seriously injured in a racing accident, and our family is now facing a challenging road ahead. Michael has always been a kind, heartfelt man who has worked hard his entire life. He’s helped others in so many ways through acts of service, love, and kindness, and now he needs support from the community he’s given so much to."
