William Perry suffered a broken leg, a fractured right elbow, three broken ribs and a concussion during a crash in last night's Tropicana 400. John Tharp made contact with the outside retaining barrier, losing his steering while sliding into the racing groove. Perry hit the Zig Zag #14, catapulting forward before contact with Ken Joynt and another massive blow by Markell Murphy near the backstretch apron. Perry propelled up the track into the path of Matthew Dominique, then slammed into Jimmie Stevens. The #70 Flex Fuel Dodge was sent into a skyward turnstile, suffering eight violent flips before coming to a stop right-side-up near the entrance to turn-3. He was placed on a stretcher; taken to the Saint Joseph Medical Center in serious but stable condition.
