Indy practice marred by crashes and mixed speeds at 242-mile oval
On Saturday speeds topped 194 mph during two laps around the 242 mile oval before canceling the attempt as rain delayed the track opening. Paul, last year’s Michigan 500 winner, lost control in the fourth turn, skidding 300 feet into the wall, then struck the inside barrier. He was treated and released after X rays showed no bone breaks. Michael Chandler remained in intensive care after a Friday crash, listed as serious but stable, while Steve Krisiloff stays hospitalized with a broken left leg. Rick Mears led Sunday practice with a best lap of 204.127 mph as 20 cars ran for speed.
