Overview

• Friesen’s No. 44 dirt modified struck an ARMCO barrier at Autodrome Drummond, became airborne, engulfed in flames and was hit by another car before he was extricated and transported.
• Doctors diagnosed an unstable open-book pelvic fracture and a broken right leg, both slated for repair in upcoming surgical procedures.
• He was transferred to a larger trauma center in Drummondville, where care teams reported stable vitals and managed his pain to lift his spirits.
• CT imaging cleared him of head, neck and spine injuries, underscoring the effectiveness of track safety crews and vehicle protections.
• Locked into the NASCAR Truck Series playoffs with a prior Michigan victory, Friesen now faces an extended recovery that could sideline him for the final regular-season races.
