Tim Sauter Released From Hospital

August 26th, Necedah, WI. Veteran NASCAR Busch Series driver Tim  
Sauter is back at his Necedah, WI home after spending Friday evening  
at the Bristol Regional Medical Center where he was held overnight  
for observation.

Sauter was involved in a hard crash on lap 209 of the Food City 250  
at the Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, TN.  Sauter’s car was hit  
by both Shane Huffman and Jamie McMurray before impacting the inside  
retaining wall where the car came to rest. Sauter had spun his Lester  
Buildings Chevy trying to avoid the car of Burney Lamar who had spun  
in front of him.

The impact dazed Sauter for several moments, but he was able to walk  
under his own power to a nearby stretcher wearing a precautionary  
neck brace. After a check-up in the infield care center, Tim was  
transported to the Hospital for further tests and overnight  
evaluation. All the test results were negative and Sauter was  
released Saturday morning.

“After I was released, the Busch Series officials took me back to the  
track to see the car. All of the safety equipment did its job,”  
Sauter said. “I’m bruised and sore, but I’m just fine.”

“I would like to give a special thanks to Denise Meeks of the NASCAR  
Medical team who kept me abreast of Tim’s condition from the time of  
the accident until he was released on Saturday,” said Tim’s wife  
Chris, who was at their son’s football game at the time of the accident.

Sauter was credited with 34th place in the event won by fellow  
Wisconsin driver Matt Kenseth.
