Anyone hear anything about Ron Davies? There is a message on FB about prayers going out for them?

he walked into the ambulance. looked a little woozy, but otherwise he seemed ok. very good roll cage. it did its job.

[norwinrunner]

The roll cage and catch fence both did a great job tonight Racing has come a long way to allow a driver to walk away.

[plymouth-man]

I was there tonight and that was the nastiest wreck I've ever seen. I think Ron is thanking the good Lord that he walked away with minor injuries. I hope Doug Eck is happy about wrecking Ron and costing him a bunch of money..

One of the worst LM crashes I've seen in a long time. Not sure, just my opinion, but it looked to me like his throttle stuck. He was going full bore when he cleared turn four. I hope he's okay. Was glad to see him walk on his own to the ambulance.

[BRYAN]

That was a brand new capital race car right off the jig. Glad to see the roll cage held up!

Yea, That was not Eck's fault.

don't think it was a stuck throttle, car turned right in the middle of the corner and was airborne instantly. he had help. tight racing.

Congrats to Doug Wreck on destroying another car! This guyots the biggest joke in this area.

[racer111]

Wasn't there can't comment on anything...just glad everyone is OK.

That is how I witnessed it, Davies was passing him and the 03 bumped him in the rear quarter causing Ron to shoot out over turn 3.

I was sitting in turn 4. I had picked Ron to win and watched him come down the back stretch and turn into 3. Ron went low through 3 and cut straight up the track in front of Eck. Ron drove through the front of Eck's car then got air from the banking and landed in the fence in front of the pit bleachers. Looked as though Ron never lifted off the gas. I am a fan of Ron's. This wreck appeared to be a mechanical problem with Ron's car. When Ron's car shot across the front of Eck's car there was nothing Eck could of done. Eck would not of seen Ron until Ron was coming off the bottom of turn 3 and heading up the track in front of him. Ron did walk to the ambulance but needed the help of the first responders as he was not steady on his feet. Praying for Ron.

Dano47.....That's the way I saw it from the tower!! Eck was sideways in the middle of turn three, but did not really cause the crash or hit Davies. My guess it was a stuck throttle. Hopefully Ron is feeling well this morning!! I did hear after the races that the car was so badly torn up they couldn't get it in the hauler. Late Models usually don't crash that bad!! Walt

Dano47 - You are exactly right on what happened. Eck has torn up alot of cars but this one is not on him. You could replace Eck with anyone else in that heat and would have been the same results.

Couldnt have said it any better. That is exactly what I, and the group around me witnessed. Very scary incident. Get well soon !!!

[Rusty_Nuts]

I was not able to see the wreck. Does anyone have video of it? Heard it was nasty. Get well Ron!

[flash49]

I've been going to the races since the 1950s, and that is one of the worst crashes I have ever seen. As another poster said, great job of car and fence building.

I saw him go airborne from turn 1. My first tought was ,he's going over the fence. I checked the moon last night but it wasn't full. A lot of torn up cars in all the classes last night.A flip in 2 of 3 heats for the sprints. The one looked like he flipped into turn 4 pit gate. All in all a lot of bent metal last night.
