UPDATE: Glen Wheeler, a mechanic for Kevin Harvick Inc. injured by a flying rear spring during Saturday’s last lap wreck in the Nationwide Series race at Dover, returned home with the team on Sunday, team owner Kevin Harvick said. Wheeler was on pit road when Joey Logano spun under hard racing with race winner Carl Edwards. KHI driver Clint Bowyer was collected in the wreck and slammed the wall separating pit road from the racing surface. Wheeler, whose left leg was injured by the debris from the wreck, was kept overnight in a local hospital with severe swelling in the leg. “We’ll take him home with us today, and we’ll have him evaluated,” Harvick said Sunday before the Sprint Cup Series race. “It’s really sore.”(Sporting News)(5-15-2011)
