As predicted by Wheldon, Viso hits Indy wall

Yesterday Dan Wheldon said he was "nuts" out on the track at Indy and it was only a matter of time before he hit the wall. Well his predictions came true just 30 minutes after the session started. On cold tires Viso's car got loose in the middle of Turn 1. He looped around, wheels locked, and backed into the short chute wall, just past the end of the safer barrier. He took off the rear wing and the attenuator, but did not appear to damage the rear suspension. Viso was examined at Clarian Medical Center and cleared to drive.

Conditions at Indianapolis Motor Speedway were mostly sunny when the green flag dropped at noon. The forecast calls for sunny skies to continue, which would make today just the second time in the last week that the track did not close early due to rain.
