Chase Montgomery update - concussion
Chase Montgomery was treated for a concussion and released from Harris Methodist Fort Worth hospital Friday night.
The injury happened during a wreck at Texas Motor Speedway when he hit the inside wall, went back up the track and hit the outside wall (drivers side) and then finally ended up coming to a rest in the middle of the track.
Not much had been said about the wreck and his condition since Friday night, I looked Saturday, Sunday and this morning to no avail. I finally emailed the PR agent for Montgomery and got a response, shortly after the response I found the update on TruckSeries.com about Montgomery.
In the recap, Montgomery said it was the hardest hit of his life. He said he had heard from others that it will hurt if you hit the wall at Texas and he found out firsthand that they were right.
His PR person said he goes back to the doctor on Tuesday, no elaboration other than that, but I'm sure it's probably for clearance to race since it was a concussion.
Hopefully he'll have better luck at Michigan.

Thank you so much for letting us know! It's unconscionable that NASCAR does not provide an official report. Hopefully Dr. Petty will clear Chase to race if he's healthy (and make him heal up properly if he's not!!!).
Thanks again.
