Bombardier Rookie of the Year candidate Danica
Patrick is resting at home following a March 6 accident during the Toyota Indy
300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Patrick, driver of the No. 16 Rahal Letterman Racing Argent/Pioneer Panoz/Honda/Firestone,
was running 10th in her IRL IndyCar® Series debut when she was caught up in an
eight-car accident on Lap 159. Patrick sustained a concussion and is scheduled
to see a Phoenix area doctor for a follow-up evaluation.
"I had a lot of fun while I was out there," Patrick said. "The car was great,
but I was just trying to be patient and get a feel for the race. Sunday was the
longest race of my career, and since it was only my 12th day in an IndyCar (Series
car), I wanted to gain as much experience as possible and increase my comfort
level. Going into the race, I just wanted to finish. Every lap I run in an
IndyCar is experience, and that experience is going to pay benefits later in the
season. I really don't remember the accident, but I know we were having a pretty
decent race for our first time out. I just wish I could have finished."
