CCS racer Dennis Crowley remains hospitalized after hitting a steel barrier along a short straight September 24 during practice for a CCS race at VIR. Crowley lost his right arm and suffered a serious head injury, and is in a medically induced coma. More, from one of Crowley’s friends: FIRST PERSON/OPINION Via e-mail: Last Saturday Dennis Crowley from Maryland, a good friend and CCS racer, was seriously injured at VIR during practice. As a result of the crash he has lost his right arm and is in a “coma-like” state. He has severe brain swelling with a current prognosis of “wait and see.” After the incident a collection of $2800 was taken up in the pits to help his family. They are extremely grateful for this and all other donations that have come since the crash. I have setup a website to update friends and family on his condition, send get well wishes, and to provide a link where donations can be made to help the family with medical expenses. ~http://www.helpdenniscrowley.com/~ This is another example of a freak occurrence where a racer came into contact with an unprotected barrier where no one ever expected it to happen.
