So seems he is on the mend a bit, though he also was said to be battling an infection. I don't have the link, read it last night. Info plucked from his daughter's FB page I believe.

Some legendary ex-racers here but the man in the wheelchair is Dan Gurney. Unfortunately he looks terrible. Tony Brooks, A fellow Grand Prix winner, is also very frail. A video from earlier 2017 (april?) with Gurney and AJ Foyt. Gurney's faculties are basically there -- but looks frail physically. Hard to decide if 2018 is his finish line.
