Garrett Alberson’s wife, Dani, shared a positive update on Garrett Alberson after he was transported to a local hospital during Saturday’s North/South 100 at Florence Speedway.

With 40 laps to go in the the 100-lap feature, Garrett Alberson, who was running in 7th slowed in the top of turn 1 and eventually came to a stop in turn 2. Alberson quickly unbuckled and exited the car. After he got out of the car, he dropped to his knees as he worked to get his helmet off. 

FloRacing’s Dustin Jarrett would report that “Garrett was hit with something out there on the race track: a rock, a mud clot, not real sure. It actually made a laceration above his eye, above one of his eyes. The rock, mud clot, whatever it was. And so they are going to transport him to a local hospital for further evaluation.”

In a post to Facebook, Alberson’s wife Dani, shared a positive update announcing that he was discharged from the hospital late Sunday morning. Additionally, she shared that on top of the laceration above his eye he suffered a broken nose and a couple facial fractures.

“As most of you know, Garrett was transported to the hospital last night,’ she began. “He was discharged late this morning. He’s got a broken nose, a couple facial fractures and a laceration above his eyes. The docs did a good [job] taking care of him.”

“He’s home and recovering, but he’s sensitive to light and won’t be responding to texts anytime soon, although I’ve read them to him as they’ve come in. Thank you all for reaching out,” she continued. “We’d like to send a special thank you to Rick Schwallie for waiting with us all night and Jeff & Paden for making sure we were taken care of. Carson and Makenna Ferguson took care of Weston and got the merch trailer moved and safe. Thank you so much to each of you, it means more than you know.”
