Inside Line Promotions – SIX NATIONS, Ontario, Canada (June 20, 2017) – Alex Hill remained on the sidelines for another week as she awaits medical approval to return to the track following injuries sustained in a racing accident at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on May 27.

The 17-year-old still has symptoms of the concussion that she sustained in the crash, although they have lessened recently.

“I’m still having some headaches, but not as often as I did before,” she said. “I’m hoping to be back racing soon. It’s really boring not being able to race.”

Hill will get an update this week on whether she can return to racing soon.

“I have an appointment on Thursday and they’ll decide if I’m ready to start racing again,” she said.

“If they clear me to race my first race would probably be the following week on June 30 with the NRA Sprint Invaders at Limaland Motorsports Park in Lima, Ohio. We plan to rejoin the ASCS National Tour, but it wouldn’t make much sense financially to do it then. We would have to haul our car out to the West Coast just for two races. We’ll probably just wait until they head back this way. But it still all depends on when the doctor says I can race again.”

The next major event for Hill will take place on June 29 when she graduates from high school at Assumption College School.

“I’m really looking forward to graduating,” she said. “Especially since our graduation doesn’t happen until quite a bit later than other high schools.”
