Several IndyCar drivers crashed hard into the safety barriers during their qualifying attempts for the famous Indianapolis 500 race. Fortunately, there were no injuries, thanks to the energy-absorbing barriers that replace the concrete wall.
No 44 Rubicon Race Team/Sam Schmidt Motorsports driver Max Papis made contact with wall on day 3 of qualifications.
No 6 Team Penske driver Ryan Briscoe hit the SAFER Barrier in Turn 1 during practice.
No 88 American Dream Motorsports driver Phil Giebler made contact with wall late on day 3 of qualifications.
