Greg Moore underwent surgery at Lady Of The Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana Sunday night, as a result of injuries suffered when Moore crashed out of the lead of the featured race at a Church of Speed event, slid past a row of Airfence soft barriers and hit a bare concrete wall at No Problem Raceway in Belle Rose, Louisiana Sunday afternoon.

Moore was airlifted to the hospital, and surgeons inserted a rod in his left femur. Moore also suffered a fractured hip and torn tendons in his left knee, but surgeons opted not to repair that damage Sunday night.

Moore is expected to remain in the hospital until Friday, according to his wife, Misty.
