SPEEDWAY, Ind. (WOWO) — The Indianapolis 500 paddock was rocked on Monday when Alexander Rossi‘s car snapped loose in Turn 2 and slammed heavily into the outside wall, lifting his wheels off the ground before Pato O’Ward spun into the wrecking car. Romain Grosjean was also caught up in the inc ident. All three drivers were able to walk away from their cars, and O’Ward and Grosjean were quickly cleared after heading to the infield medical center. Approximately an hour after the crash, IndyCar confirmed that Rossi was awake and alert and still being evaluated. Rossi had qualified second for Sunday’s race just a day earlier and was set to start on the front row alongside pole-sitter Alex Palou. O’Ward qualified on the second row in sixth. Per IndyCar rules, if either driver needs to use a backup car, they’ll be permitted to keep their qualifying starting positions and will have the opportunity to acclimate during Friday’s Carb Day practice.
