Jeff Gregory will return to the sulky in Friday morning qualifiers.

Gregory, who suffered a broken left elbow in a racing accident on Sept. 6, 2013 at Freehold Raceway, will make his return to action on Friday morning (March 21) in qualifying races at the Meadowlands.

The East Windsor, N.J., resident expects to be back driving in races next week.

Gregory’s elbow was shattered and required extensive surgery and rehab after the spill. He had a second surgery on Feb. 3 to have the pins and wires removed.
