Conner Morrell transported after dirt sprint car crash
On Friday night, the World of Outlaws visited Vado Speedway Park. The track is a 3/8-mile in Vado, New Mexico.
Conner Morrell and Alex Pettas both went upside down on the opening lap. They were separate accidents that occurred at the same time.
The race was red flagged and drivers climbed from their cars. There was a lengthy delay due to track cleanup. Officials also waited for an ambulance.
After the red flag, the race is about to resume.
This is only the second time the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series has visited Vado Speedway Park. Friday night is a preliminary event ahead of Saturday’s Desert Showdown finale.
