Ryan Briscoe from Team Penske wrecked during Saturday's final practice session preceding "Pole Day" qualifications for the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Briscoe spun around and backed it hard into the turn two wall. He was transported by ambulance to the track's infield care center. Despite suffering a bruised knee, IndyCar medical personnel cleared Briscoe to drive. His team prepared his backup car in time for him to turn laps around the famed 2.5-mile track in the closing minutes of practice.
"I'm a bit bruised on my knees," Briscoe said. "My legs knocked the wheel off, actually. It's a real bummer to start Pole Day off this way, but we're going to fight hard and get back out there and see how we can run.
