Aiden Price shared a new update after he injured his back in a wreck at Attica Raceway Park on Friday, July 31st.
Price shared in a post to Facebook, “Great news, Surgery isn’t needed at this time. Met with the neurosurgeon in Charlotte and he thinks it is best to just monitor with more imaging next week and let it heal. We will be out for at least 12 weeks so time to play long game and rest up.”
Price previously shared that he thought he was going to have to get surgery have he suffered a T10 burst fracture. He wrote on Facebook on Saturday, August 1, “Unfortunately I have a T10 burst fracture which the first hospital only thought was a compression fracture until I had an MRI done. Plan is to hopefully be able to walk stably in a back brace to get home and have surgery done there. Not sure how long the recovery will be but more than likely out for the rest of the season. No major issues with the spinal cord but it is a concern on the way it is broken. Still can move very easily with my body just very painful to work my back around obviously.”
He also shared exactly what happened on the track that caused him to wreck, “I do remember what happened vividly on track. Went into turn 1 and suddenly the right front dropped and we think the right front tire was either cut, or blew off the bead. Did 2 cartwheels and remember sitting there on my nose balancing in the air and just remember seeing the whole car slowly start to fall and think this isn’t gonna be good at all before I actually landed.”
Price wrecked while battling around the 10th position following a restart with 10 laps to go. The track shared that the red flag was displayed after Price flipped in turn one. At the time, they also shared that he was “out of the car but taking his time with the safety crew.”
