NASCAR's Purvis remains in serious condition

PHILADELPHIA - NASCAR driver Jeff Purvis was still in serious but stable condition Tuesday night after he was injured in a crash at Nazareth Speedway. <br> <br> Purvis injured his head and neck and broke a leg in a collision Sunday with Greg Biffle. <br> <br> Purvis remained in the intensive care unit at Lehigh Valley Medical Center. He will stay at the hospital until doctors decide where he will undergo rehabilitation, Brewco Motorsports team spokesman Dennis Punch said. <br> <br> During the Stacker2 200 Busch Series race, Purvis&#39; engine blew while he was exiting pit road, spilling oil. His car hit the outside retaining wall and came to a rest with the nose facing the infield. <br> <br> Biffle&#39;s car slid through the oil and crashed into driver&#39;s side of Purvis&#39; car. The race was red-flagged for just over 20 minutes while safety personnel cut the roof off the car to remove Purvis.
