Is anyone watching the truck race? Kelly Sutton hit the inside wall hard, very hard. They had to cut her out of her truck. She's "awake and alert", they are taking her to a hospital to get checked out.

Me too, don't know if they will have an update, the race has less than 30 laps to go. Maybe they'll talk about during the Cup race tonite. When Jeff Fuller had that hard hit a few weeks ago in the Busch series, he broke his wrist I think.

Sutton plans to race despite hard crash

SCENEDAILY - 12:35PM ET MONDAY JULY 3, 2006 - BY MARK ASHENFELTER - ASSOCIATE EDITOR

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Kelly Sutton was released from the University of Kansas Hospital on Sunday, one day after suffering bruised ribs and a bruised left elbow in a crash at Kansas Speedway.
Sutton was driving back to North Carolina, but told crew chief Gary Showalter that she plans on racing the Sutton Motorsports Chevrolet this weekend at Kentucky. Brad Keselowski, whose family owned K-Automotive Motorsports team is on hiatus due to lack of sponsorship, will be standing by if Sutton determines she can't drive or needs a relief driver. Keselowski has been serving as Sutton's spotter.
"The doctor said she's going to be sore for awhile, but she's saying she's ready to go racing," Showalter said Monday. "We'll see when she gets back. They're driving back, they didn't want to fly her back. She said that she just needed to take a nice drive, get out every couple hours and walk around and stretch and then drive some more."
Showalter hopes Sutton's able to drive at Kentucky. The team has taken the truck to NASCAR's technical center after Sutton slammed hard into the inside wall. Showalter said the seat and all the leg braces were intact.
"She's really lucky she didn't get anything broken," Showalter said. "... She's starting to race better, I just hope this doesn't set her back any."

Is it because of injuries? I thought I read somewhere that her injuries weren't as bad as they thought.
