Jason Leffler severely injured in small-track wreck

Details are still spotty, but NASCAR Nationwide regular Jason Leffler has been severely injured in a wreck at Bridgeport Speedway in New Jersey. Leffler was racing a Sprint Car at the track's "Night of Wings."

While the details of the wreck are still yet to emerge, Leffler was airlifted out of the track via helicopter. The remainder of the night's racing was cancelled.

Twitter, of course, immediately erupted with rumors and half-truths by people purporting to be at the track.
