Kenseth's car crashed into a wall, and her husband rushed to her side.
She was carried from the track on a stretcher and treated at a local hospital.
"That didn't turn out so well," Matt Kenseth tweeted late Monday. "Katie and I are home, she has a broken scapula (shoulder blade) and some bumps and bruises. Thanks for all the well wishes."
