As of 6:30 PM, EST, Top Fuel racer Bruce Litton from Indianapolis is still at Massachusetts General in Boston after being transported following an accident at New England Dragway. According to crewchief Richard Hartman, Litton has a concussion but it is a large gash in his right arm that is their largest concern at this time.

Hartman pointed out that Litton’s recollection of the run is limited and he is upset at letting the car get away from him.

“Bruce is alert and in as good of spirits as he can be,” Hartman said. “He is cracking jokes and has even made the comment that he only pedaled it twice. He’s already asking me how quick we can have a new car ready to go.”

Doctors are expected to make a decision soon to determine if he will be released or admitted overnight for observation.

UPDATE - Doctors will operate on Litton on Monday to replace a plate on his right shoulder, which is from a previous injury. He is expecting to be back out racing in the near future.
