By Jim Samuel Commisso Crash Breaks Concrete Barrier

MOHNTON, Pa. - We are in a delay here at Maple Grove Raceway. During the first round of qualifying for Pro Mod, Ray Commisso, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, got loose about 100 feet down the track. He swerved to the left, then went right across the center line and hit the concrete retaining wall on the opposite lane. The impact broke the concrete barrier and left a lot of oil on the track. The impact also damaged the fiber optic lines to the track's timing system. Race officials are estimating another 30 minutes to repair the damage. Commisso got out of the car on his own and is okay.
