Kingsley released from hospital.

Matt Kingsley, who was seriously injured during a crash in race three of the V8 Ute Racing Series at the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide earlier this year - venue for the opening event of the 2008 V8 Supercar series, will be released from hospital today.

The 23 year old has spent the last seven weeks in the Rehabilitation Unit at the Gold Coast Hospital following his transfer from the Royal Adelaide Hospital but today celebrates his release and return home to continue his rehabilitation as an out patient.

Matt is no longer wheel chair reliant and is spending hours in the gym daily in order to regain his fitness and mobility.

The medical team remain positive about his full recovery with Matt's goal to make a comeback at the Queensland Raceway round in July, subject of course to medical clearance.

Kingsley's crash happened on the same weekend that Fujitsu V8 Supercar driver Ashley Cooper was critically injured when his car hit the barriers at more than 120mph during the second of the weekend's two Clipsal 500 support races. Ashley passed away two days later.
