NASCAR has settled the lawsuit of a spectator who was injured in a February 2013 Xfinity Series crash at Daytona International Speedway. In doing so, NASCAR was able to avoid having its drivers deposed and its crash and fencing reports made public.
Allen Davis sued NASCAR and Daytona's parent company, International Speedway Corp., in November 2015. The Florida man was sitting in the upper deck and, according to the lawsuit, "was struck in the head by a heavy piece of debris and suffered a catastrophic, traumatic brain injury."
Attorneys for NASCAR and the track filed notice Monday with the court that the parties had settled, and Davis attorney Dan Iracki confirmed that the sides have agreed to a settlement, with terms remaining confidential. He said Davis suffered permanent brain damage and will need medical care for the remainder of his life.
"He is actively engaged with a rehab hospital and he has a full-time health-care advocate, and he's trying to make the best of his situation," Iracki said Monday night. "This recovery is going to change [Davis'] life -- it will help in making sure he is taken care of the rest of his life."
