Monday afternoon’s NTT IndyCar Series practice session saw a return to race trim following a weekend of qualifying.
The session was marred by a multi-car crash caused by Alexander Rossi’s car losing control and striking the SAFER barrier hard.
Pato O’Ward and Romain Grosjean also got involved in the incident while trying to avoid the spinning car, but they escaped with less damage.
Rossi was kept longer at the medical center for evaluation, and it was later announced that he would be taken to a local hospital.
Despite the crash, drivers managed to complete some meaningful running before the session was cut short due to incoming storms.
Josef Newgarden led the session in terms of speed, with Takuma Sato and Dennis Hauger following closely behind.
