— NASCAR driver Ryan Preece is “awake, alert and mobile” after his car rolled about a dozen times during a terrifying crash at Daytona International Speedway.
Stewart-Haas Racing said Sunday morning that Preece “has been communicating with family and friends.” He was hospitalized overnight.
The 32-year-old Preece was able to climb out of his mangled No. 41 Ford on Saturday night with help before emergency workers put him on a gurney and into an ambulance. He initially went to the track’s infield care center before being transported to Halifax Health Medical Center for continued observation.

He will be evaluated by medical personnel again Sunday, the team said, adding that another update is expected in the afternoon.
