A horrendous crash on lap 114 involving 15 cars sent Ryan Heuser to the hospital with moderate head trauma. He is in good condition, but received a severe concussion and internal ear injuries during the accident. The crash started when Heuser and Tim McDonnell made contact off of turn 4 while leading the event. He meandered off of the #22 and straight into Bink Lucas, who clobbered the left-front at 179 miles per hour. Ryan spun around three times before getting walloped on the drivers side by Rick Jackson, sending him flipping seven times in four seconds before a deadly blow into the driver window knocked him out cold. The NOS Energy car flipped two more times before coming to a rest. He would be airlifted to the nearby Homestead Hospital where he finally awoke from his hour-long stupor.

The Extravaganza Impact Rating ranked the accident as a 10286, indicating an estimated 2 to 3 week absence abstaining from the analysis of his doctors. Quick-Silver has the highest standards for injury recovery in all of Extravaganza, with an entire wing of their enterprise devoted to therapy and fitness. We all wish Ryan a safe and full recovery. There is no word on who will replace him at Rockingham in seemingly the fastest car in all of Extravaganza.
