INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — ECR’s Alexander Rossi has been cleared to race following Monday’s Indy 500 practice crash.
Rossi announced the news on Thursday during Indy 500 Media Day.
Rossi was part of a crash during Monday’s practice session. He walked away from the incident, but “underwent successful outpatient procedures” on Monday evening “to repair minor injuries to a finger on his left hand and his right ankle.”
Rossi will have to be on crutches until race day though because it’s a weight-bearing injury.
Rossi, the 2016 Indy 500 champion, will start 2nd in Sunday’s race.
This story will be updated.
