Josef Newgarden?

Is he alright? I don't really want to spoil the race, so I figure I'd rather ask here rather than to actively look and spoil the race.

Said he was taken to a hospital with a right shoulder and wrist injury. Doesn't appear to be any other injuries. He's extremely lucky.

Pappas also confirmed that in the course of Newgarden’s shunt, the rollhoop on ECR's Dallara DW12 broke.

“Yeah, the speed and angle was such that the rollhoop dug into the SAFER barrier, and that ended up taking the rollhoop off," said Pappas. "So when the car tipped over, the track surface ground away at the tub and his shoulder, through the carbon and honeycomb.

What the ****.

The roll hoop broke and they're worried about a windshield?

That's BAD!


*Scott Dixon almost took a wheel to the head today so the windshield is not unnecessary

J.R. Hildebrand to replace Newgarden at the Road America test and whatever other events Josef misses.

Brutal hit for Newgarden. That young man is very lucky. Really a miracle that he could auger in that way, head first, and survive. Thank God that he did.
