Verizon IndyCar Series driver James Hinchcliffe from Toronto was evaluated May 13 by the IndyCar medical team in conjunction with its neurosurgeon consultant.
The series’ Medical Director, Dr. Michael Olinger said that Hinchcliffe is progressing well and has been cleared to begin light training with his athletic trainer. Hinchliffe, who was diagnosed with a concussion resulting from an on-track incident during the Grand Prix of Indianapolis on May 10, has not been cleared to resume driving duties. He will be re-evaluated May 15. E.J. Viso, who has been filling in for Hinchcliffe for three consecutive days of practice for the Indianapolis 500 in the No. 27 United Fiber & Data car, was fastest of 30 drivers in the May 13 session that was cut short by rain with a lap of 224.488 mph. Viso competed in an Andretti Autosport car last season. Recent Articles
