“I’m fine, praised to the Lord,” Simpson told Fox Sports after they reviewed him at the Emergency Care Center. “It is a difficult way to start quickly on Friday. Just a strange shock. Everything was strange.
“Even from the back, something really felt good. I kept moving forward in weight Jacher and trying to help the car. I never felt as I expected.
