Tough guy Steve Rapp crashed out of the Superstock (formerly 750cc Supersport) race Friday, March 8 at Daytona, ripped open his left elbow, visited the Infield Care Center, got taped up, raced in Supersport (formerly 600cc Supersport) later that afternoon, then had surgery that night to clean up, inspect, install a drain tube and sew up the damage.
