"Unfortunately after last nights wreck @knoxvilleraces I have suffered a broken left wrist and a fractured right hand.
With that being said our 2025 Knoxville Nationals are over.
So heartbroken and gutted for our whole @caseysgenstore | @FVPparts team as I felt like we had great car speed
I’ll get seen by a specialist when I get home to determine how long until I can be back in the car
Thanks for all the messages with your concern about me
Love you all"
