Tyler Courtney’s fiancé Aysia shared that Courtney is expected to make a “full recovery” after he underwent surgery yesterday due to injuries suffered in a brutal wreck at Eldora Speedway during the High Limit Racing Joker’s Jackpot race on Thursday night.
Courtney was collected in a lap 1 wreck when Buddy Kofoid drifted into the middle of the track and made contact with him. Bill Balog, who was running behind Courtney, piled into his rear. The contact flipped Courtney upside down and sent him into the catch fence. He then helicoptered in the air and smacked a slowing Hunter Schuerenberg. He then barrel rolled multiple times before eventually coming to a stop.
