Race car driver Bryan Clauson remains in a Lincoln, Neb., hospital today following a vicious hit in a USAC midget race Saturday night. Clauson had just taken the lead in the 39th Belleville (Kan.) Midget Nationals when he made contact with a lapped car between Turns 3 and 4 of the dirt track. The Belleville High Banks is a half-mile dirt oval 200 miles northwest of Kansas City and is one of the fastest tracks in the U.S. Clauson was aiming for his fourth victory in this event; he won last year. He had started ninth in this race.(Indianapolis Star)
