Moore injured in Marlboro 500 crash
Sunday, Oct. 31, 1999 | 1:14 a.m.
Dr. Steve Olvey, director of medical affairs for CART, said Moore sustained massive head injuries and was being airlifted to Loma Linda Medical Center "for further resuscitative efforts."
Olvey also confirmed that the injuries were life-threatening.
On lap 10 of the 250-lap event, Moore appeared to lose control as his car coming off turn two. The Reynard-Mercedes skidded onto the infield grass, crashed hard into a retaining wall and broke into several pieces, with the driver's compartment spinning wildly before coming to a halt.
The 24-year-old Canadian driver broke a finger and suffered a deep laceration to his right hand and bruised his right hip on Saturday in an off-track incident in which his scooter was struck by a car in the paddock area.
Moore was cleared to drive after a six-lap test on the two-mile oval late Saturday, starting the 500-mile race last in the 27-car field.
This was the 72nd start in Moore's CART FedEx Series career. He has five victories, including the season-opening race in Homestead, Fla., this season, and was the runner-up in last year's Marlboro 500.
