Camrie Caruso is expected to miss at least six weeks of NHRA Pro Stock competition due to a broken fibula in her left leg and a possible sprained ankle following a crash at Firebird Motorsports Park on Saturday during the NHRA Arizona Nationals in Phoenix. The incident occurred during Q3 of Pro Stock qualifying when Caruso’s car experienced issues off the starting line on a solo run, resulting in hitting the wall after completing the run at 142.87mph. Caruso was evaluated by NHRA medical staff at the track before being taken to a local hospital, with her injury announced on Sunday. Despite not qualifying for Sunday’s event, Caruso expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support from the NHRA community and fans, stating her excitement to return to the track and represent her sponsors. This marks Caruso’s third year in NHRA Pro Stock competition, where she previously made history as the second female to win in the category at Firebird Motorsports Park last year, in her 21st career start, and she was named Rookie of the Year in 2022.
