Two weeks ago, William Sawalich was involved in a crash at Talladega Superspeedway. He’s still suffering lingering effects from the impact.
Hear from William Sawalich below.
Last week at Martinsville Speedway, Justin Bonsignore filled the seat of the No. 18 car in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Heading into this weekend’s championship race, Sawalich still hasn’t been medically cleared to return.
Bonsignore will again fill in as the reserve driver at Phoenix Raceway.
On Wednesday the driver issued the following statement:
“Unfortunately, I didn’t get medically cleared to compete this weekend in Phoenix,” William Sawalich opened via the team release.
“As a driver, you want to be behind the wheel for your team, but I understand the importance of being fully ready before returning. As I continue to work toward getting back to 100%, I want to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Collins and his UPMC staff. I also want to thank Jeff Meendering, the No. 18 team and everyone at Joe Gibbs Racing for their unwavering support this season.”
“We will be prepared and ready to go when the season begins in Daytona this February.”
