Welshan whom won Friday nights $800 to-win feature at Boyd's Speedway, before finishing in the Top-5 in the nights Southern All-Star Super Late Model feature, left the track and headed for Erlanger Hospital with chest pains around midnight.

"I've been feeling some tightness in my chest and didn't wanna take any chances." stated Welshan while exiting the facility Saturday morning. After being put thru dye and stress tests, the FLYIN WELSHAN was released and told to follow-up with his regular physician. The team decided to make a late jont to Crossville, TN and it paid off, winning the $400 payday. Welshan drew the #5 invert for the 2nd feature, but only could get to 3rd as the checkers flew in the second 15-lapper. Teammate Tim Kyle rounded out the Top 5 in both features for a solid weekend of racing action. Look for Welshan to possibly pull DOUBLE DUTY this coming Thursday night during the Southern Nationals series trek to the Cleveland (TN) Speedway. Welshan is planning a follow-up visit to his doctor early this week. Welshan still leads the Boyd's Speedway Crate LM Points Championship chase and will be in action there next Friday night.
