Alex Rossi, a driver for Ed Carpenter Racing, was seen in a large white cast on his right foot after sustaining minor injuries in a three-car crash during practice for the Indianapolis 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Rossi hit the wall hard while practicing on May 20, requiring outpatient procedures on his left hand and right ankle. Despite these injuries, he qualified second for the race scheduled for May 24 and expressed his determination to participate. Rossi shared updates on social media, including a photo of his injured foot during a podcast recording. The crash involved Pato O'Ward from McLaren and Romain Grosjean from Dayle Coyne Racing, both of whom were checked and released from the medical center. Rossi's team is preparing a backup car for the race as they continue to evaluate his recovery under the supervision of INDYCAR Medical Director Dr. Julia Vaizer. Rossi, who previously won the Indy 500 in 2016, remains optimistic about competing for his second title.
