In August of 2017, Worthing was doing two things he liked to do, driving a race car and helping a friend. A well-known dirt-track racer for over 30 years, and known as \u201cThe Junkyard Jet,\u201d Worthing was severely injured while driving a vintage race car in an exhibition race at the Tioga County Fair. <\/p>\n
Doug sustained serious burns and a debilitating head injury that has resulted in numerous neurological problems, dietary challenges and a continuous uphill battle for him and his family; a battle that continues.<\/p>\n
Friends, family and community members are encouraged to attend and help Doug and his family in his continued care and recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
