Firefighters took two hours to cut her from the wreckage, before she was airlifted 41miles to Hull Royal Infirmary.
The former Emmerdale star is still awaiting the results of a CT scan and has suffered severe bruising and two sprained wrists.
Roxanne had been racing Ben Fry, her Minster FM breakfast show co-host, to promote the Outlaw Gold Top Shootout event on August 11.
A source told The Sun Online: "She tried to overtake Ben on a bend and was travelling too fast and smashed into the concrete wall on the track.

"She lost consciousness for about 30 seconds on impact. Fortunately she was wearing a helmet and race gear."
The source added that Roxanne was loaded onto the air ambulance on a back board and is on morphine to help with the pain.
Video footage of the aftermath of the crash shows a green helicopter taking off from the middle of the raceway, while two fire engines, a police van and white Mercedes are parked on the track.
The shock smash comes just a day after sexy new pics of Roxanne were released from her new horror film, Habit.
