Peterborough and Lynn speedway boss sends best wishes to Lewis Kerr
The joint boss of Peterborough speedway has added an emotional message to the flood of well-wishes for injured star Lewis Kerr.
The Newcastle and King's Lynn ace was airlifted to hospital following a horror crash in the Final of the Premier League Fours at the East of England Showground yesterday.
Specialist medics were flown in to treat Kerr at the track before he was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge in an induced coma.
Dale Allitt, joint boss at Peterborough and promoter of King's Lynn Young Stars, said Lewis would have wanted tonight's meeting between Wolverhampton and King's Lynn Stars to go ahead.
He discovered Lewis Kerr as an up-and-coming speedway rider graduating from moto cross.
Meanwhile British Speedway has announced it'll postpone the draw for the Premier League Riders' Championship which is due to take place in Sheffield next month.
