Here is the statement I found on grand-am.com:

IMSA Statement:

Memo Gidley, driver of the No. 99 GAINSCO / Bob Stallings Racing Corvette DP, underwent surgical procedures on both his left arm and left leg at Halifax Health in Daytona Beach, Florida. Gidley also has an unstable fracture in his back which will require additional surgery before he can be released from the hospital. He continues to be evaluated.

Matteo Malucelli, driver of the No. 62 Risi Competizione Ferrari 458 Italia, remained at Halifax Health overnight for further evaluation. He continues to rest comfortably. An update on his condition will be provided later today.

Doesn't look so good for Gidley, hopefully he'll be fine in the long run. Here's the link if you guys want to see it. They also have hourly updates so you can look at those.

They way that accident looked, and the way the car looked after, the fact that they can patch him up is a good thing.
