He was transported for observation which tells you nothing about his condition.

He was alert and talking to crews at the track and had enough movement in his upper body to drop the window net.

quote:

Aric Almirola, driver of the No. 43 Richard Petty Motorsports Ford, was involved in a multi-car accident on Lap 199 during Saturday night’s race.

Almirola was alert after the accident as safety professionals removed him from the car. He was transported by helicopter to a local medical facility for evaluation. He is in stable condition and will be held overnight for further observation.

Richard Petty Motorsports will provide further updates when appropriate.

Still not a lot of new information but at least he is "stable." The vagueness doesn't sit well with me, though.

A compression fracture is not bad at all considering the alternatives. He'll be sore as hell for a couple months but probably otherwise okay if they're releasing him already without surgery. It's probably not something he can race with until it's fully healed, though.

Tommy Kendall said he had an announcement today, and when someone suggested he was running the 43 at Sears Point I got crazy excited.

Then he said he's running some race of champions or whatever in Saudi Arabia. Lame.

I can't help but notice the seeming slight uptick in injuries in the Gen 6 era (Hamlin, Larson, Junyer, Almirola, Kyle if you want to include the NXS CoT). I don't remember anyone missing races due to a wreck in the CoT other than Junyer's first concussion.

We're way ahead of where we used to be, though.

I seem to recall that Jr initially got the concussion testing a Gen6 car and the subsequent CoT wreck (that you're referencing) exacerbated it. I absolutely could be misremembering, though.

No. Its more awareness.

Drivers use to do really dumb poo poo and hide lots of knarly injuries or just drive through it. Now there is a bigger focus. That and you have a pretty sharp evolution in health and conditioning which is probably lowering injury rates.

I'm not talking about hidden stuff, I'm referring to actual "He can't drive next week" injuries. I started watching full-time in 1997 and remember several injuries in the first few years which required replacement drivers for a period of time- Ricky Craven's repeated concussions in '97 and '98, Ernie Irvan being injured again in '98 and finally retiring in '99 due to injury, Steve Park and Greg Sacks (who got the Jaws at Texas) missing a chunk of the season in 1998, Morgan Shepherd driving for RCR because Mike Skinner was hurt, Joe Nemechek missing races in 2001, etc.. It fortunately seemed to improve to the point where I can't remember it happening after Jerry Nadeau at Richmond (probably because of the increased focus on safety after Dale got killed) and throughout the run of the CoT, but we're unfortunately starting to see it again every now and then with the examples I listed in the last post.

Even discounting the unknown amounts of hidden injuries, I recall it being fairly routine drivers racing with injuries that were of the type that made announcers act shocked they were still racing through the 90s.
