Racer Scott Carpenter is leaving Inova Hospital in Fairfax, Virginia today and is headed home to Raleigh, North Carolina.

Carpenter, 43, underwent surgery yesterday to screw together his pelvis, which was broken in three places in a crash during a WERA National Challenge Series 750cc Superstock race at Summit Point Raceway Sunday.

Carpenter was originally transported to a hospital in Winchester, Virginia but was flown by helicopter to Fairfax Sunday night.

“I appreciated all the calls from everybody and all the support,” Carpenter told Roadracingworld.com today.

Carpenter said he highsided after hitting something slick on the racetrack, and that his racebike landed on top of him. He had no injuries other than the broken pelvis.

The WERA veteran is sponsored by RonAyers.com and Pirelli.
