Brad Sweet has been transported to a hospital after a violent wreck during his heat race at Eldora Speedway for the Kings Royal.
On lap four of the first heat race of the night, Sweet got into the wall in turn 1 then spun down back on to the track in front of Cale Thomas who smashed into the side of him and flipped him upside down. He eventually landed back on all four wheels.
