Les Huntley, a front suspension mechanic for SHR and second gas man for Danica Patrick last season, was left with paralysis on his left side in the wake of his medical emergency.

As of a week ago, Huntley was still not walking, nor able to use his left arm and hand.

On top of all that, a "Go Fund Me" account created to offset Huntley's medical expenses has far surpassed its goal of $10,000 and had raised $32,593 as of Saturday morning.

So proud of everyone @StewartHaasRcng today.. While most are at the shop working, we have awesome crew moving Les's family into a new home..
