Further Update On Riverhead's Mike Capiello
May 22, New London, CT--- It was announced that Riverhead Raceway Co-Chief Steward Mike Capiello suffered two broken legs and a dislocated shoulder tonight. One broken leg said to be of the "minor" variety, while the other was a compound fracture.
This was a result of the Modified of Steve Booker being spun from behind during hot laps, and spinning out of control to the infield, where his car struck Capiello.
Capiello was transported first to Peconic Bay Medical Center, then later transferred to Stony Brook University Medical Center, where he is awaiting surgery on his leg. It was reported that during the ambulance trip, Mike was awake, aware, and joking with the ambulance crew.
