Scary Chili Bowl Crash
Ashton Torgerson was involved in the wreck, and fans watched his car flip several times. The 16-year-old Oregon native was ejected from the car. Medical personnel rushed over to him, and he was taken to a hospital.
"Ashton is awake and alert at the hospital. He has feeling in hands and feet and has passed his tests so far," the company said in a tweet. "He’s now going into scans. We will continue to keep you posted." Petersen Media, who does PR for Torgerson Racing, offered an update on Torgerson.

Ashton is sore and has been resting. The CT came back with some blood in the brain, so they continue to monitor. Dr's are amazed that he is doing so well. The support from everyone has been amazing.
He even had a few special visitors last night. pic.twitter.com/FwqPsDhHML
