| | Comments (0) |

Carl Skerlong, driver for Oxnard-based Pacific Coast Motorsports in the Atlantic Series,
crashed during a test session Tuesday at Road Atlanta in Georgia and suffered a concussion. He will not race in the season finale this weekend at Road Atlanta.
Skerlong is fourth in the Atlantic Series standings, won his first Atlantic Series race in New
Jersey in September and had two poles and seven top fives in his rookie season.
"I was so excited to fight for a top-three finish in the championship this weekend," Skerlong said. "I am quite sore from the accident but not being able to race is much more painful." Skerlong's teammate Frankie Muniz will race this weekend at Road Atlanta.
Jonathan Bomarito, driver for the Encino-based Mathiasen Motorsports, leads the Atlantic Series standings.
