Dave Mirra beats the pain



If you remember that Dave Mirra had a gnarly crash during practice in Salt Lake City only 2 weeks ago where he broke a knuckle in his left hand, dislocated his right thumb and bruised his sternum, only a few had expected him at the next Rally Cross in Millville, NJ 2 weeks later. Even surgery in his left hand, where they inserted 5 screws and a plate, did not hold Mirra back to line up in his Subaru.

And when Dave Mirra lines up, he's always a threat. He ripped off his cast of his broken pinky and pushed through the pain of his bruised sternum and hurting hands to compete in this race to finish second. Amazing.

Dave's still hoping to be able to ride the Dew Tour Finals in Las Vegas, if he can get his pinky to bend so he can hold the grip.
