— 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.
