IndyCar Race Did Not End Well For Ryan Briscoe, Who Went Airborne

Graham Rahal ended a long IndyCar winless streak today at Fontana in a thrilling race some attribute to new aero specifications, but the excitement likely didn’t extend to driver Ryan Briscoe who managed to escape serious injury after being flipped into a barrel roll on the final lap of the race.

That’s what pack racing can result in, and it’s something that’s sure to be a topic of discussion in motorsports for the coming week. For those of us watching, though, it was a damn exciting race.
