"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."
just talked to bill rose from fl. hospital, lr tire expoded in heat race & went thru side panel & arm guard. had surgery today,plate & screws in left arm. he gets out around noon monday & will head home.
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.
On a sidebar, Danny Smith drove Bill's car in the Feature last night with a provisional, and drove it again tonight. Went to the Feature with another provisional.
