NHRA Pro Stock racer Joey Grose, trying to bump his way back into the field during Saturday’s final qualifying session at the Muckleshoot Casino Resort Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways, rode out a wicked-looking rollover accident.
He exited his upside-down Camaro with help from the Safety Safari and was walking around and talking with emergency and medical personnel. He was alert and joking as he walked to an ambulance and was taken to a Seattle-area hospital as a precaution.
Grose, of Lodi, Calif., was making a solo pass in the right lane when his car got out of shape, banged the wall, spun around, toppled over onto its roof, and took a hard hit on its roof on the opposite-lane wall. It ricocheted off the left wall and back into the right wall, igniting a flash fire.
