David Anspaugh remains in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit at Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital with closed head injuries he suffered in a crash early in practice for Sunday's American Speed Association Time Warner Cable 200 at the Milwaukee Mile. On Wednesday afternoon his condition was still critical but stable.
Tests continue to be made to monitor any progress being made.
Anspaugh was preparing for the ASA race when his car spun, hit the turn one wall backwards, then rolled over, landing on its wheels. He was unconscious when rescuers reached the car and had to be removed from the car by cutting away the roof and rollbars. This is a normal procedure in crashes similar to this. Investigation into the cause of the crash has seemed to indicate the possibility that a brake caliper retaining pin was missing, allowing a brake pad to come loose and fall out of the car. A driver following Anspaugh on the track reports that he did not see anything fall off the car before the crash.
