"According to Bill's crew, the surgery to put a plate and screws in his arm went very well. He's expected to be released from the hospital tomorrow, and has told his crew he plans to be back behind the wheel in 2 1/2 weeks when the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series returns to action at Las Vegas Motor Speedway."

Best wishes for a Speedy Recovery Bill!

I was real young when this happened, Lee drove the 66 car. I was told Lee's steering link broke and dug in causing the car to flip violently. Breaking his arm and more. One of those crashes I'll never forget seeing, first time I remember having the realization hit me that sprint cars can turn on you in a heart beat.
