God I hope Paul is ok feel very bad for him and Hemelgarn team. Lets hope and pray that there is no major injuries. P.K if you have any info what so ever please please let us know.

Re: P.K! Please give any info on Paul Dana!

All I found was this:

"Dana lost control heading into turn two on the 21/2-mile oval and backed hard into the outside wall. Hornish ran over debris from Dana's wreck, flipped high into the air, turned over and skidded along the track on the open cockpit of his Team Penske entry.

Hornish was able to scramble from his overturned car and walked away without injury. Safety workers had to remove Dana from his battered car and he was placed on a stretcher for the short ambulance ride to the infield medical center. Dana was awake and alert but was later taken to Methodist Hospital for further examination after complaining of back pain.

It was Dana's second crash in two days and the fifth accident overall since the track opened for Indy 500 practice on Tuesday."

ESPNEWS said he was still in the hospital, but was expected to be okay. Nothing major from what I understood.

Thanks guys. I also found out that he was alert and awake when he went to Methodist. Very scary there for awhile. Paul is like one of the best people I have met in racing. I hope he can come back and run well in the race. Here is some pics of Hornish's car. BTW why is it that these IRL cars get airborne so often?

I was reading online that Dana fractured one of his vertebre. Doesn't look good for him to run the 500.

I think it used to be the aero package; if the car got upset at all it basically acted like a big wing and flipped. As for Hornish's car, he hit a huge peice of debris, I could tell what was going to happen before he even hit it.
