Pretty nasty crash for these two in California last night. Hoping both are ok and back in their cars soon. The latest news I've seen had Johnson with a concussion and in the hospital for observation while Pittman is flying back to Indy to meet with an orthopedic specialist.

Video of the race, crash is around the 8 min. mark.

Kudos to Kraig Kinser for helping Pittman out of the burning car. Unfortunately at a number of tracks drivers are the only ones on sight fully covered head-to-toe with fire retardant safety gear and are in a position to help out.

Daryn Pittman indeed has broken collarbone while Jason Johnson suffered fractured back as per NSSN website. Hopes and prayers for a speedy recovery for both of these fine drivers.

That goes for anyone in that series. Dale is a beast, no doubt about it.

Darrah in the 9 this weekend, no all star races so this makes perfect sense.
