best of the week: Mike Conway, Will Power
Mike Conway's car files through the air after a coming together with Will Power's car at the Indy 500. Conway had just returned to the track after hitting one of his crew members during a pit stop, an accident that broke the car's front wing. The wing, which helps drivers with their handling of the car, was not fixed before he pulled out. Conway spun out right in front of Power, who drove into the side of Conway's car, sending it up into the catch fence. Both drivers were able to climb out of their damaged cars Photograph: Tom Hemmer/AP
