"Bella Coleman update
During last night’s WFO Micro Series restricted feature at Coles County Speedway, driver Bella Coleman was involved in a racing incident that required immediate medical attention. Bella was transported to Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center, where she underwent a full evaluation. We are relieved to share that all scans and tests came back negative. Bella was treated and released early this morning. She is sore but in good spirits and plans to rest and recover before returning to the track.
The Coleman family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the entire racing community for the outpouring of support, including the many calls and messages received throughout the night and into today.
Special thanks go to the Coles County Speedway rescue team, who executed a safe and efficient extraction of Bella from her car. Their professionalism and calm under pressure ensured Bella could be transported quickly and safely.
Over the offseason, the Coles County Speedway safety team—comprising EMTs, paramedics, and firefighters—completed certification through the POWRi Trackside Safety Training Program. Their training was put to the test this weekend during multiple incidents, and they rose to the occasion each time. We are immensely proud of their dedication and preparedness.
On behalf of the entire Coles County Speedway staff, we send our best wishes to Bella for a full and speedy recovery. We look forward to welcoming her back to the track very soon."
