Ryan Preece hospitalized after scary wreck at Daytona
Ryan Preece has been transported to a local hospital after getting into a wreck Saturday at Daytona, NBC reported. Racing in the Cup Series, Preece’s car spun out, caught air, and then flipped through the infield in what was a scary sight for onlookers.
Thankfully, the car landed on its wheels and Preece was able to get out and stand as the NASCAR AMR Safety team attended to him. It’s unclear at this point how severe his injuries are, but he is currently being evaluated as we await another update.
Preece ran into teammate Chase Briscoe as his car started to lift once it hit the grass. It rolled over several times before coming to a stop as the safety team rushed to his aid. According to NBC, Briscoe is OK following the scary collision.
Ryan Preece was placed on a stretcher before he was loaded into the ambulance and taken to the care center to be evaluated following the wreck. After the race, which Chris Buescher won, a number of Stewart-Haas Racing crew and drivers made their way to the center to check on him.
Thoughts are certainly with Preece as he gets checked out by doctors and we hope everything turns out to be all right for him.
