Conner Morrell transported after dirt sprint car crash<\/p>\n
On Friday night, the World of Outlaws visited Vado Speedway Park. The track is a 3\/8-mile in Vado, New Mexico. <\/p>\n
Conner Morrell and Alex Pettas both went upside down on the opening lap. They were separate accidents that occurred at the same time. <\/p>\n
Morrell went over the cushion and slapped the wall. His car was sent tumbling across the track. <\/p>\n
Pettas also flipped behind Morell. However, he climbed from his car and walked away on his own.<\/p>\n
The race was red flagged and all drivers climbed from their cars. There was a lengthy delay due to track cleanup and work with the safety team. <\/p>\n
Officials also waited for an ambulance.<\/p>\n
This is only the second time the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series has visited Vado Speedway Park. Friday night is a preliminary event ahead of Saturday\u2019s Desert Showdown finale. <\/p>\n
