Simon Pagenaud has come away very well from a huge crash during an IndyCar practice, in which he overturned nine times before coming to a halt against the tyre piles. The Meyer Shank Racing driver has since been examined by the medical team and appears uninjured, but has to sit out the rest of the day as a precaution. On Sunday, Pagenaud will be examined again and it will be determined whether he will be able to race at Mid-Ohio.
