Screw in Tire, am I stuffed?

Hi guys.

I had a screw embed itself in the tread of my Toyo RA1s. I pulled it out, and it hasn't punctured. However, the positioning is worrying me. The screw went through the tread, and ran along the "skin" of the sidewall. Is there any danger to me if I use the tire on the track?

TIA
Elie

I would not use it for the track given your description of where the screw was located.
