Tom Carey's vicious CTS wreck at Dover, 2000

Original post by carlEfan99 at Roys Memorial, unfortunately there is no audio. On lap 79 of the 2000 MBNA E-Commerce.com 200 at Dover, Carey slams head-on into the wall with immense force, resulting in severe facial lacerations and bruises.

I read somewhere that he had to have reconstructive surgery on his face, but he returned to race in the Craftsman Truck Series the following season.

thank god he survived, that looked just as bad as Roper's wreck

[mohawkman251988]

He would've been able to just walk away from that if a safer barrier was present.
