INDIANAPOLIS -- Rookie driver Ryan Hunter-Reay has crashed during a qualifying attempt for the Indianapolis 500.
Hunter-Reay, who was bumped from the lineup earlier, went out for another attempt with about a half-hour left in Saturday's qualifying. He completed one lap at just over 223 mph but spun and hit the wall hard on the first turn of the next lap.
He climbed out of the car on his own, apparently unhurt, but the Dallara car had heavy damage to the left side.
