Sprint Car owner Laurie Sertich was ht by a push truck at Canyon Speedway in Peoria, AZ on Thursday, February 28th during a practice session. She remains in the intensive care unit at a local hospital. She suffered multiple broken bones along with cuts and contusions.

According to witnesses, the push truck didn't have any lights on and Laurie didn't see the truck.

The track also did not have an ambulance on site or paramedics/EMTs. USAC requires a DOT ambulance on race days, but since this was a track's practice session, it wasn't an official USAC night. Her race team members controlled her bleeding until a life flight helicopter arrived.

Praying for a speedy recovery!!
