Inside Line Promotions – FRESNO, Calif. (Sept. 3, 2015) – Dominic Scelzi’s recovery from a back injury is coming along well.

Scelzi, who hasn’t raced since sustaining several compression fractures in his back on July 25 at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., has been visiting a physical therapist regularly the last month.

“We are making good progress and I’m feeling better each week,” he said. “It’s an arduous process, but I’m putting in the hard work. I really want to thank my family, sponsors and fans for the great support and for sticking behind me. ”

Scelzi said he is feeling a lot better and is on pace to return to the cockpit for the Gold Cup Race of Champions on Sept. 11-12 at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif., with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series.

“The Gold Cup is one of the premier races each year and it’s one every driver in California looks forward to,” he said. “It falls seven weeks after my accident, which puts it in the time frame of when doctors predicted I could return to racing. Hopefully there aren’t any setbacks and we can be out there competing that weekend.”

Scelzi, who has earned one victory and 12 top-five finishes this season, said his itch to race is stronger than ever.

“Whenever something you love like racing is taken away from you I think your desire to get that back builds,” he said. “It’s been really hard not to be able to race and I know when I get back in the race car I won’t take any lap for granted.”
