IndyCar Detroit GP: Race red-flagged after vicious, late crash - video

Sunday’s Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix was red-flagged in the closing stages after a serious accident involving Louis Foster and Felix Rosenqvist.

Foster was running two places behind Rosenqvist with 17 laps remaining in the 100-lap event when a suspension failure sent him into the outside wall and careening down into Rosenqvist, who was braking for the corner ahead. 

What resulted were significant hits for both drivers. Rosenqvist spun hard into the edge of the turn 3 tire barrier. Foster was clear of the wall, slid through to the tires at the back of the runoff next to the corner. 

Update from Meyer Shank Racing: “Rosenqvist has been seen and releaseed from the infield care center and is en route to the IMU to complete his IndyCar evaluation”.

The AMR Safety Team quickly arrived at each car. Both drivers radioed to their teams that they were okay and were able to climb out of their machines under their own power, but Rosenqvist complained of leg pain and was loaded on a stretcher before being taken off-track for medical evaluation. 

“The suspension just killed on us when I hit the brakes,” Foster said of the incident. “I’ve never seen that happen before. … I don’t know how the heck that happens. This track’s just ridiculously bumpy. That has to be something to do with it, because that’s so uncommon. 

“I don’t have a lot of words right now. Still trying to figure out in my head what happened, chat to the boys and see. Super disappointing. That’s about it.” 

Race officials red-flagged the race with 13 to go in order to allow time to remove the damaged cars and work on any safety repairs needed.
