NASCAR: Blaney 'sore' after Eldora crash

Dave Blaney is "very sore" but recovering Saturday, one day after a World of Outlaws

qualifying crash

at Eldora Speedway saw him hit the wall and flip multiple times.

Blaney, a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series veteran and 1995 World of Outlaws champion, was on his second qualifying lap when he made hard contact with the wall between Turns 1 and 2 and flipped several times. He was extricated from the car by the track safety crew and transported by ambulance to a local hospital. A CT scan revealed no breaks or fractures. While it was thought Blaney would need to stay overnight, he was released about 11:30 p.m.

"Dave took a hard hit last night and we're thankful that he wasn't seriously injured," team owner Dan Motter said in a statement released on Saturday. "It will take a little time to get through the bumps and bruises. Of course Dave's health is foremost. Again, we want to thank fans, friends and media for their concern and the flood of well wishes."

Blaney, an Ohio native and father of Sprint Cup Series driver Ryan Blaney, had competed for Motter Motorsports several times this season, winning at Volusia Speedway in Florida in February and running in April races at Williams Grove, Port Royal and Selinsgrove, all in Pennsylvania.
