Kudos go out to Matt Nichols, his EMT crew and the entire Auburndale Speedway safety crew for the professional way they went into action after a nasty looking crash in turns one and two during the running of the Sunoco Super Late Model Series, Speedway Auto Sales sponsored 100 lap race.
John Coffman crashed his #58 car broadsde into the driver's door side of the #59x car of Becca Monopoli, at nearly full throttle, in the aftermath of a seconds earlier two car spin out. The safety crews response proved very beneficial. Coffman was unconscious at first with the Auburndale Speedway EMT crew led by Nichols working with him he regained consciousness. Monopoli had a bruised right arm, left leg and a little shaken up, but was able to continue to race after a visit to the pits.
There was concern by the EMT crew that Coffman may have suffered a concussion or possible other complications and for precautionary reasons an ambulance was called in to take him to the hospital.
