Inside Line Promotions – ALGER, Wash. (June 26, 2024) – Dominic Scelzi is taking the next couple of weekends off from racing to recover following a rough crash during the opening night of the Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup last Thursday.

Scelzi and a fellow competitor touched wheels going into turn one on the opening lap of a heat race, sending Scelzi into a series of flips that ended his weekend early at Skagit Speedway.

“A driver on the outside of me turned in really early and his left front was in front of my right rear,” he said. “I never even saw him. It sent me flipping and it totaled the car. It was a pretty good crash.”

Scelzi has bruised ribs and a minor concussion, forcing him to be sidelined to let his body heal.

“We’re a good team and a strong team,” he said. “I know we’ll bounce back. Our summer schedule is more open now and we’re going to hunt for wins.”

Scelzi aims to tentatively return to racing on July 12-13 at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, Calif., during the 14th annual Howard Kaeding Classic with the Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo and the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series.
