LJ hates me this morning. But not as much as I currently want to hurt Jeff Hammond.
What with the way Hammond dared Ellyut to stage dive which resulted in Ellyut slipping, hitting the baracade (had to watch three times to figure it out), flipping over and landing on his back on the concrete. Oh, and then the very panicked Jeff Hammond pretty much bullying the crowd to stay back (I'm actually quite good with that), the yells for a medic, the part with Elliott NOT GETTING UP and Blake Shelton pretty much ripping off his mic to get down there and check on his buddy. Oh, and then the ten minutes of commercials because the SPEED crew was busy helping get Elliott medical attention.
Note to self - buy a Blake Shelton CD as soon as possible.
I must have missed the very, very brief mention on Trading Paint, though, of Elliott's status.
Sadler injured but is OK.....more: at the end of Speed Channel's Trackside show Friday, Jeff Hammond dove off the stage into the crowd, which caught Hammond [unlike the Penske crewman at the Nextel Challenge], Elliott Sadler, driver of the #38 M&M's Ford for RYR, was also on the show, and before Hammond did his dive, he dared Sadler to join him, after Hammond's successful dive, Sadler attempted his dive and slipped, supposedly sustaining some sort of head injury. The camera's moved away for the scene, Steve Byrne's the host of the show, mention Sadler may had injured his head, closed up the show and they signed off. As of 8:55pm/et, have not heard any updates on if Sadler is injured and if he is, how serious. Anything I find out off official nature will be posted.
UPDATE: John Roberts mentioned as Speed Channel's Tradin' Paint show that Sadler is fine after his mishap and will race on Sunday.
MORE-PR: Elliott Sadler, driver of the #38 Ford in the Nextel Cup Series, sustained only minor injuries on Friday evening after a fall from a stage in Uptown Charlotte during the taping of the television program “Trackside Live” broadcast on The Speed Channel. After rain showers earlier in the evening, Sadler slipped from the outdoor stage due to the wet surface bruising his left thigh. He sustained no other injuries as previously reported. Sadler was seen by an onsite medical team and left under his own power. He will compete in the scheduled NASCAR Busch Series and NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series events this weekend at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.(Elevation Group PR)(5-26/27-2006)
This wasn't a Trent Cherry dive. It was ugly. And grown ass men need not do that ever again.
