I just heard that Joey Saldana was taken to an Ohio hospital after a series of violent flips on the first lap of the A at Eldora. Does anybody have any updates yet? Thanks

Amen Buddy, I don't want to see ANY sprint car drivers get hurt (even if they're not my favorite). Anybody that DOES want to see somebody get hurt or cheers when somebody gets wrecked is a Low Life idiot!

I hope he is back tomorrow. I don't want to see anyone hurt and if he loses this hard fought title fight i want it to be on the track not by default. Good luck Joey.

He apparently got out of the car OK so hopefully it is just a precautionary measure .... ?

Per Woo Report
Saldana was involved in a very hard opening lap accident, ending his night in
the 24th spot and leading to him being taken to the Dayton hospital for
observation of his head and back

Kasey noted on Facebook that Brad Sweet will be driving the 9 car. No word on Joey's condition.

Here's a tweet from Kasey.
"Brad Sweet will drive the Budweiser 9 at Lernerville tonight"
"The good thing is he gets out of the hospital today after lunch and will be fine in a few days. Thanks for asking."

Thanks, I appreciate the info. That sucks bad for Saldana, I wanted to see the points decided on the track, not from a hospital bed. At least it sounds like Joey will be okay! That's what Really matters.

What i hear is he broke some face bones. His shield was busted and found his glases in the catch fence.
