E.J. Viso has been diagnosed with the mumps and will be unable to take part in next weekend's IndyCar race Firestone Indy 200 at Nashville Superspeedway. The mumps is a viral infection that is highly contagious, but rarely life threatening.
The Indy Racing League wants to contain the possible spread of the disease is asking participants who were in contact with Viso last weekend at Watkins Glen to provide documentation that they have either had the illness previously or been vaccinated for it.
No replacement driver is expected to be announced for the race.
