IN BRIEF : Daytona Driver Undergoes Surgery

Tom Usry, injured in a stock car race at Daytona International Speedway, was reported in serious condition today, with a second operation scheduled Tuesday on his badly broken left arm.

Usry was one of three drivers hospitalized as a result of crashes Sunday during the running of the ARCA 200 late model stock car race.

Also in serious condition today was Bob Dotter Jr., while Clifford Allison was reported in satisfactory condition at Halifax Medical Center, a speedway spokesman said.

Usry, from Broadway, N.C., underwent several hours of orthopedic and reconstructive surgery Sunday night, speedway Public Relations Director Larry Balewski said today.

Balewski said Dr. James Caker performed surgery on Usry’s arm and would do so again Tuesday. He said Dr. Bruce Kennedy performed plastic surgery on Usry’s face, which was cut in the crash.
