Jeff Hensley, the crew chief for Tanner Gray’s No. 15 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series, was absent from this weekend’s event at Phoenix Raceway due to an illness, TRICON Garage told JosephSrigley.com earlier in the week.

Now, on Sunday, two days after the event, we’re learning more about Hensley’s health and overall condition, following a Facebook post made by his wife, Lynn Ramsey Hensley, saying that he had sepsis.

“Last week, Jeff called the race at Charlotte… This week he fought for his life with sepsis in the hospital,” the Facebook post read. “We praise God this morning that Jeff is still with us. He is expected to make a full recovery. Thank you to all who have called, texted, visited, and most of all PRAYED!! We have felt the prayers. A special thank you to our TRICON Garage family for all the love and support.”

“Jeff may be a few laps down right now, but he will make it to the finish line.”

Hensley is currently in his third season leading the No. 15 TRICON Garage team in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series, the latest in a long list of drivers and teams that he’s worked with throughout his illustrious career, which includes the 1990 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series championship with Chuck Bown.

In May, two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch passed away at the age of 41, after severe pneumonia turned into sepsis.

Hensley, however, is expected to make a full recovery.
