Not NASCAR but: Davey Hamilton, an Indy Racing League driver, was in stable condition yesterday with injuries sustained in a crash in Saturday’s Casino Magic 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Hamilton suffered severe injuries to both legs and feet when his car hit the fence. His injuries include damage to bones, muscles, blood vessels and circulation to his feet, said Dr. Henry Bock, the director of medical services for the IRL. Hamilton was transferred Sunday to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis from Parkland Hospital in Dallas by an air ambulance. He had surgery Sunday at Methodist to stabilize circulation and remove damaged tissue. Early reconstruction of the multiple fractures also has begun. Also, Robby McGehee, injured in another accident in the same IRL race, was in good condition at Parkland Hospital after surgery Sunday to repair a broken lower left leg(Winston Salem Journal)(6-12-2001)
