Katie Kenseth crashed while practicing for the Oct. 15 charity “Better Half Dash” before the Sprint Cup Series race that evening. She is one of many wives and girlfriends scheduled to drive in this race.  She was taken to the hospital and later released.  Here is what Matt had to say on his Twitter account.

She said that was the shortest racing career in history!

That didn’t turn out so well. Katie and I are home, she has a broken scapula and some bumps and bruises. Thanks for all the well wishes.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y.—Marcos Ambrose passed Brad Keselowski on the first lap of a green-white-checkered-flag finish at Watkins Glen and won Monday’s rain-delayed Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at the Glen under caution when a violent multicar wreck exploded behind him on the final circuit.
Ambrose, who charged through the bus stop (inner loop) and powered past Keselowski to the inside, became the fifth first-time winner in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series this year.

Marcos Ambrose headed to victory lane for the very first time in the Cup Series, the 5th first time winner this season.

-A horrendous crash on The Final Lap of the race between David Ragan and David Reutimann. Luckily both David’s are doing okay.

-A dust up in the garage area between Boris Said and Greg Biffle, presumably Greg was sticking up for his teammate David Ragan who got wrecked by Said.
