Elliott Sadler

Elliott Sadler. Today, during NASCAR’s race at Pocono raceway, driver Elliott Sadler suffered a terrible accident, but luckily he came out unscathed from it. His car crashed into a wall without the SAFER barriers used for protection and found in all races of this kind; the violent car crash sent the engine out of the car.

Luckily we could see how Elliott Sadler emerged from the wreckage by his own means to lay down in the pavement, while emergency help arrived to assist him.

“I’m OK,” he said after he was released from the care center, ”I’m a little sore. The breath definitely got knocked out of me. It was probably the hardest hit I’ve ever had in a race car, but I’ve got to thank all my guys back at home that put these things together. … I’m still in one piece, so it did its job.”

Sadler tried to explain the crash, but he doesn’t understand fully how could this happen:

“Somebody just ran into the back of us and turned us inside through the wet grass into the guardrail, so I was along for the ride,” Sadler said. “It was a very hard hit. I’m a little sore through my chest and my stomach, but that’s from where the seatbelts did their job and grabbed me and kept me in the car, so I’m thankful for that.”
