Fuller suffers Moderate Concussion and Whiplash, will be sitting out next 3 Races.

Whitney Fuller was momentarily knocked out following a gigantic impact with Casey Lester in the race at West Virgina, which doctors later diagnosed as a Grade II Concussion, as well as Whiplash.

"I'm not only having Fuller sit out the next 3 races because of her concussion, but due to her irratic driving before the incident itself." Team owner Tanner Clason said, no replacement has been named for Fuller as of yet.

Nick Dawson on His Day

"I can't believe I finished fourth today." Nick said on his fourth place finish. "I think the spin made the car a little bit better. I really hope Kyle allows me to run his car next year."

DiVierdi, Lester's spotter, ambushes Knight's pit crew; Lester suffers several injuries, out for rest of 2011

Jonathan DiVierdi, after seeing his good friend Casey Lester almost die in a savage crash in the Logitech 150 off the front bumper of Allie Knight while battling for the lead, was enraged. He ran right over to the 94's pit stall and punched may of the crew members there. The 49 crew allegedly joined the fight as a massive brawl ensued in the pitlane between the two crews. DiVierdi was shouting "THAT DUMB B*TCH KILLED CASEY!!!" as he was in the fight. Officials separated the crews after about 10 minutes or so. Lester fortunately lived through the wreck. He reportedly has a broken right arm, both broken ankles and a few minor head injuries. Doctors say that the impact with Whitney Fuller nearly broke his neck, which may have killed him. He was unconsious as soon as Fuller pegged the right rear of the anhilated #49 Ford of Lester. The injuries will certainly keep him out of a race car until at least late November. This means, almost certainly, he is out for the rest of 2011. (AARO is going by real dates, right?) The only comments Lester had on the situation were "What the hell was she thinking?". Penalties are expected for DiVierdi's actions as well as a hefty fine.

Juveno ambushes Grosso, says Grosso "turned him into wreck"

Barry Juveno appeared to pile into the 2nd caution in the catastrophic race at West Virginia, but Juveno himself said otherwise.

"Dat f**kin' idiot Grosso turned me into da f**kin' crash! I got no f**kin' idea what da hell he was thinkin'! No wonda why he ain't got no f**kin' AERS ride yet! He's a f**kin' retard!"

Juveno reportedly attacked Grosso once he caught sight of him, punched him multiple times and was dragged away by his crew. Penalties and fines are expected for Juveno. Needless to say, this weekend has been a wild one.

Allie Knight offers rebutle, entire team defends her position

After the Pit road brawl between the entire 49 and 94 team, Allie Knight was finally available for an interview, saying the follwing:

Knight: Im so happy for Joey, I expect to see him up front for many races to come.

reporter: Whats your position in the Lester crash

Knight: Look, I was racing for the lead. Lester had my number. This went on for a handful of laps, and I wnted no part of that 32 car. I went low to avoid running over the 32, and got into Lester. A racing deal. Plain and simple. Its unfortunate that he's out fot the year, and its just chance that my teammate ended up winning. Believe me, if I wanted to wreck him, I could.

the 32 was a lapped car. You sayin' dat cuz i rite aint I????//???

she wasn't clear, though and she should've known that. When she made the move to the low lane, she was already beside me.

well then you proved my point. Lapped car+poor spotting=racing deal.

Cobane out for the season

Ryan Cobane has suffered serious injuries that will keep him out of the season. Cobane lost his breaks so he would have caused a caution anyways. The 17 slid down and Ryan tried to avoid but couldn't. Looking at the in car camera, when Ryan slammed the 17 he went forward and slammed his head on the steering wheel. He was still conscious here but when the 13 hit him he hit his head again and blacked out. Doctors said that he had a Mild Concussion and broke his right leg. Ryan did tell us " I'm done racing this year. I might be done overall. That was the scariest thing that happened to me and I don't want that to happen again." Eric Webler has told us that Logan Alvarez will replace him. Logan will continue off of Ryan Cobane's points which is 31st after this race.

Nate Pieper gets his 2nd top 10 of the year

Nate Pieper led some laps today and then got involved in a caution. Nate Pieper said "We made the best out of our car today. We did an ok job, lead some laps. Thought we could come back after we lost the lead but we got involved in that one caution. 9th is pretty good. The crew kept it competitive. I'm happy. I hope Ryan is ok. I have to go see him right now. I haven't heard about him and his condition." Nate is now the highest driver for Webler Motorsports moving up to 13th in points.

Janine Vilard not happy with points

After a tough day, Janine Vilard moves down to 30th in points. She said to us " I don't get it. We try my best and all that happens for us is crap. I give 100% every week and we going backwards. I'm glad Ryan is doing good. It sucks he is out for the rest of the year. I'm gonna miss racing against my cousin."

Kyle Korbett Wrecks, Finishes 13th
Kyle Korbett rolled off 30th for Saturday night's Logitech 150, but quickly made his way up the order. On lap 45 Korbett struck the spinning car of teammate Derek Lanigan, effectively ending any chances he had at a good finish. But through determination and a high retirement rate, Korbett managed a decent 13th place finish despite finishing with no hood. "The car was great until we smacked Derek...We'll come bak strong next time."
