Curt Cavin: "Simona is out of the car, but it's a mess. She flipped in some form and caught fire. The front end is just ripped apart. No replay yet"
"Crash was in Turn 3. Something broke. She got airborne once, then a second time higher, like 6 feet up"
"First hit was with the rear in Turn 3. Then car nearly got up in the fence in the north chute"



sounds like very nasty, but she is out of the car in medical

That was weird looking. After she initially hit the wall, did she run over her own wheel? That would explain why the car got into the air so spectacularly even after losing quite a bit of speed.

so can i safely assume that danicas lap was ran while drafting with someone and not what we should expect to see out of her in qualifying?

She said herself that she got a nice tow from another car.

And we could expect something like that from her in qualifying. Pole was 228+ last year

In every session, this so far, #27 Conway with bad speed. I think he had problems, in practice 4 Marco drive his car and was faster then Mike.

well, we must see...
