| Man in critical condition after Palm Beach International Raceway crash - Orlando Sentinel Posted: 04 Oct 2009 02:45 PM PDT Palm Beach International was hosting race with 500 entrants JUPITER - A motorcycle racer was critically injured Sunday at the Palm Beach International Raceway. The man, described only as being 32 years old, crashed around 2:45 p.m. at the race track just west of Jupiter and was flown by helicopter to St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, said Deputy Chief Steve Delai with Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue. There he remained in critical condition throughout the day. The track was hosting the Championship Cup Series, a race that was expected to draw about 500 entrants Sunday. The man was making a turn when he lost control of his motorcycle and slammed into a wall, said Teri Barbera, spokeswoman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. The man's name was not released Sunday. Authorities with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office first reported that the man had died, but later revised their statement to say he remained in critical condition at the hospital. Officials with the raceway could not be reached to comment Sunday. In May, a 9-year-old boy was critically injured during go-kart racing at the raceway. Devin Olmstead suffered severe burns to his arms and torso after his go-kart went out of control, flipped over and burst into flames. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission opened an investigation into Devin's crash. Commission spokesman Scott Wolfson said Sunday the investigation is ongoing. He said his agency would like to hear about it if faulty equipment played any part in Sunday's motorcycle crash. "We would like someone to report that to CPSC formally, immediately," he said.

| Memphis: Cory McClenathan Sunday rain notes - Motorsport.com Posted: 04 Oct 2009 12:58 PM PDT RAIN POSTPOINES NHRA MID-SOUTH NATIONALS TO MONDAY MEMPHIS (Oct. 4, 2009) - Persistent rain has postponed the NHRA Mid-South Nationals at Memphis Motorsports Park until Monday at 10 a.m. Cory McClenathan, who qualified No. 4 in the FRAM Tough Guard Top Fuel dragster and faces TJ Zizzo in the opening round of eliminations, commented on the rain delay: "When we're on a four-week swing like this, I just think it makes it that much harder on the families, the fans, and all the guys working on the race cars. It kind of brings us down to crunch time. There is no time to be sitting here during the week while we're supposed to be traveling to Richmond. "I think the weather is going to be OK tomorrow, so I think that's what we're going to be looking at. But we need to get it in because we need to get everything packed up and sent down the road. "When you're running an operation like Don Schumacher Racing with three Funny Cars, two Top Fuel cars and a motorcycle, it's a lot of work to do. "Right now everyone's just hanging out and getting fed. Our normal deal on days like this is I'll get up and work out, have breakfast with (fiancee) Debi and the kids, come over here, and then I play my PS2 for the rest of the day. So, that's been my day so far. "We also do all our pre-race introductions with DSR. All the drivers are introduced and they say a few words. That's always a fun thing because we all make fun of each other, so I spend most of my time making fun of Jack Beckman!" he said, with a laugh. -credit: dsr  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
