In NASCAR’s modern history, there has not been a more feared injury than a basilar skull fracture. This injury made its mark on NASCAR from the early 90s up to 2001 and claimed the lives of many drivers and injured several more. In the span of 17 months from April 2000 and October 2001, NASCAR drivers died from basilar skull fractures and set the sport into a time of panic and fear. Despite the high fatality rate of this injury, there were drivers that survived this injury. Rick Carelli, Stanley Smith, and Ernie Irvan are all well documented cases of survivors of basilar skull fractures. Today we’re going to talk about the story of Larry Pollard, the forgotten survivor of NASCAR’s worst injury.
