Team Penske's Will Power tops 229mph as Indy500 practice reverts to race turbo boost levels, but the session is marred by a big crash for Katherine Legge and Stefan Wilson 😬 FULL REPORT 👇
Legge’s left-front wheel ran into the right-rear corner of Wilson as he checked up. The contact caused both cars to spin before they struck the wall, with Legge’s car hitting side-on as Wilson’s went nose-first into the SAFER barrier.
Legge’s car, which suffered severe right-side damage, briefly got airborne before landing on its belly and impacting the wall again at Turn 2. Legge climbed out of her car, but the AMR safety crew took 10 minutes to extract Wilson from his car, and as he was stretchered to the ambulance he raised his thumb to the crowd.
“The cars in front were all checking up, I lifted as much as I could and downshifted, hit the brakes but it wasn’t enough as they were checking up,” said Legge. “I got into the back of Stefan and we both ended up in the wall.” The session resumed for 30 minutes, with Power going to the top of the charts with 229.222mph with 25 minutes remaining.
