Racer Lil' John Ownbey of Cleveland took a nasty roll over while racing for the lead during a B-Main event of the annual "Hangover" race at 411 Motor Speedway in Seymour, Tn. on Saturday.
Ownbey was sent immediately to a local hospital in the Knoxville area where he received multiple scans, due to possible brain trauma within concussion protocol.
Kept overnight, Ownbey has been ordered out of the driver's seat of his #J0 "Sam's Restaurant Equipment, Elliott's Tire Center, Chambers Equipment, Fraziers Apt. Rentals, Powell Motorsports" race car for at least three months, in order to best heal.
His wife Ariana said, "John is in good spirits, is talking racing and looking forward to getting released from the hospital." Her "Salon at 22nd/Limelife by Alcone" driver also said he'll be back in action, way before the three-month time frame.
Fan shot video, released on social media, shows Ownbey's car violently flipping while trying to get underneath the race leader in turn four. The racer rolled up the track and was never contacted with any other Super Late Model racing car.
Ownbey can be followed online on his Facebook account.
