Andretti Green Racing’s Tony Kanaan suffered soft tissue damage around three ribs and is black and bruised all over from his massive accident in Sunday's Indianapolis 500 (photo) but the veteran driver intends to run Milwaukee this weekend.
On the other end, AJ Foyt Racing’s Vitor Meira will likely be out of contention for at least four to six months (yes, months not weeks) after he suffered a double lumbar vertebrae fracture in his accident with countryman Raphael Matos. The Brazilian is currently being fitted with a back brace.
And according to well-informed sources, Canadian Paul Tracy has been seen in serious discussions with patriarch AJ Foyt. The former ChampCar champion, who finished ninth last Sunday, could take on Meira’s car for the Milwaukee race this coming weekend.
