Christopher Bell “rocked” during sprint car event at Indy Dirt Track – Speedway Digest

There are inherent hazards in racing non-wing USAC sprint vehicles, as Christopher Bell nicely is aware of.

On Thursday evening, I found that serving as a sprint car racing analyst may have its profiles.

Bell was on a elevate over the Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, broadcasting the USAC National Sprint Car invitational at the 0.25-mile oval with FloSports, when a flying rock kicked up by one of many vehicles hit him within the elbow.

“I got smoked,” Bell stated. “It really hurts.”

Fortunately, the flying rock did no everlasting harm. In latest weeks the total-time driver of the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota has been recovering from a damaged left wrist he suffered in a brutal crash at Michigan Speedway.

So, was it the left elbow that was hit by the rock?

“Of course,” Bell stated.
