Jeff Fuller (racing Driver) - Kentucky Crash and Since After

Kentucky Crash and Since After

He was involved in an incredible accident at the Kentucky speedway on June 17 when he swerved to avoid Jason Leffler's spinning car and ended up hitting the inside wall at almost full speed. The car practically imploded upon impact and then burst into flames briefly. Despite the car hitting the wall on the right side, the left side came apart. Amazingly, he never lost consciousness but the car's roof had to be cut off to extract him. He was taken to the hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation and (surprisingly, considering the heavy amount of damage to his car) a broken wrist and finger. He was released the next day. They determined that the implosion of the car was due to a faulty roll cage which failed during the crash.

Fuller made a full recovery from the accident, but when Frank Cicci closed up the #34 team for the rest of the year, Fuller was again left without a ride and his status.

For 2007 Fuller was driving for Stanton Barrett Motorsports on a limited basis.

Jeff is looking for a ride for the 2008 season. Meanwhile you can still find Jeff in the garage area of most Nationwide Series races helping young drivers learn to handle their car and master new tracks. February 2008 Jeff traveled to Afghanistan for a 10 day visit to 6 camps meeting soldiers, signing autographs and seeing first hand what our troops go through while deployed.

R3 Motorsports placed Jeff Fuller behind the wheel of their No. 23 Chevrolet for the 2009 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Darlington Raceway. Fuller replaced Robert Richardson, Jr. for the 200-lap event. This was his first series start since the Montreal road course race in 2008, and he finished in 30th place.
