Ziggy Moonglow Accident

Ziggy Moonglow was rushed to the Sonoma Valley hospital after a terrifying accident at the turn-11 pit wall on lap 35. The #02 Coca-Cola classic Chevrolet for Delta Sim Racing smashed passenger-side first into the tire barriers on pit entry, coming to a complete stop on impact. The entire cockpit bodywork was demolished, with Moonglow strapped inside the car with a collapsed a-frame and shattered windshield glass all over his firesuit. He is confirmed to be breathing normally, otherwise no word yet on his condition. Our prayers go out to the Extravaganza rookie and the entire Extravaganza racing family.
 

Before the accident occurred, Moonglow was enjoying the race of his life. He was remarkably leading the race by two seconds over Markell Murphy, taking 25 laps to drive from 5th to first. The crash happened the lap after his only pit stop, making contact with another car off of turn 10 while waiting for his tires to heat up. Then disaster struck. It was the fifth race he has led all season, and was a well needed boon as the team came in 34th in the standings. Here are his results so far this season:

Average Start: 22.8
Average Finish: 28.9
Points Standings: 35th

No word yet on who his replacement will be for Nashville, in the inevitable event that he won't make the trip back east. The #02 team will enter 53 points ahead of the Team Danger Zone #65 for the provisional cutoff. Some say Trey Larkin might switch from the #00 to the #02. It's all speculation, but they will desperately need to make the field in the 84-car qualifiers next Friday. Without Ziggy, it may be a tough road ahead.
