Matt Mills was released from the hospital on Monday afternoon after being held for two days for smoke inhalation following the wreck at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
“I can’t wait to be back at the racetrack at Martinsville this weekend and continue doing what I love. It was definitely a scary situation I’ve had but it’s part of the sport,” Mills said.
Team Statement:
Following a scary incident in last week’s race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Matt Mills was transported to the Jackson South Medical Center where he stayed two nights for further evaluation after suffering smoke inhalation. A group of doctors from both the NASCAR medical team and the hospital released Mills on Monday and later approved him to compete in Friday’s race at Martinsville Speedway.
