NASCAR world sends prayers, wishes to Tiger Woods after car accident 

NASCAR drivers and teams have sent prayers and well wishes to Tiger Woods after his life-threatening accident on Feb. 23.

Kyle Busch, team owner Brad Daughtery, broadcaster Michael Waltrip and driver Riley Herbst and others in NASCAR have sent their wishes to the golfing great.

Woods' 2021 Genesis GV80 SUV was reported to be going at greater a speed than normal when it slid off the road and rolled down a hill, causing multiple severe injuries to his leg. He was headed north on Hawthorne Ave. in Rancho Palos Verdes near Los Angeles.

Woods was transferred to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center where he underwent surgery.

The latest update on Tiger Woods' Twitter account states that he is awake and responding to treatment while recovering.

While the cause of the crash remains unknown, investigations are ongoing and Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva says it may take a few days or even weeks to complete the investigation. Law enforcement officials have said the golf star was not driving under the influence of alcohol.

Tiger Woods scripted arguably one of the greatest comebacks in golf history when he won the 2019 Masters after a hiatus of 14 years.
