I "know" Nick from Supraforums.com -- some bits of info:

He's out of the hospital, the male passenger who was with him is in very bad shape.

The yellow Supra he crashed technically belongs to the Hulkster, and has about 700hp. Besides the base cost of the car they spent over $100k in body work and performance parts on it. Nick himself owns a green Supra.

I can't speak as to whether or not he was racing against the Hulkster in his viper, but I can tell you that Hulk was on the scene of the accident before they even had Nick extricated from the wreck. Also, the Hogan's do own a 2003 silver Viper, along with a yellow (obv) '06 Viper.

Even though Nick is pursuing a career as a professional driver, he's only 17. Giving a 17 yo the keys to a 700hp car is never a good idea, they just won't practice the restraint necessary to drive safely. Costly lesson learned, let's hope the passenger is alright.
