In related news, Hendrick Motorsports said Wednesday that Hendrick sustained a broken collarbone and four broken ribs in the crash – not just one broken rib, as previously reported – and was admitted to a medical facility in the Charlotte area on Tuesday.
Hendrick entered the medical facility “due to discomfort from the injuries,” the team said, and doctors believe his pain can most effectively be managed there.
“He is in good spirits and is expected to be released by the end of the week,” the team said.
