 web posted September 24, 2007 MODOC – A Johnston man was airlifted to MCG after a violent crash at the Modoc Speedway Friday night. Jamie Rushton, 33, of Johnston, was “bumped” and “hit the wall” which resulted in his injuries. Witnesses said Mr. Rushton exited his car after the crash and as emergency workers assessed his injuries they called for a helicopter. Rushton was flown from the scene to the MCG Trauma Unit in Augusta. Mr. Rushton was treated at the Trauma Center and was found to have suffered two bruised lungs, an eye injury, and a concussion. He was later released from MCG and is resting comfortably at home a family member said late Sunday night. Jason Rushton, a cousin, said Jamie will most likely take the rest of this racing season off, “but he will be back.” Mr. Rushton has been racing for many years at the Modoc Speedway and is one of many local favorites. One race fan who asked not to be named said, “We’re all a big family. When one of us is hurt we all hurt.” That mindset was most evident when a Modoc Speedway fan suffered an unexpected brain aneurism after the birth of their first child earlier this month. A collection at the next race for the family resulted in well over a thousand dollars being collected to aid the family. Fortunately the young mother survived and she is well on her way to recovery. Mr. Rushton is expected to fully recover from his injuries and will be back behind the wheel in the near future. For all
