Felix Rosenqvist, Louis Foster OK after violent crash at Detroit Grand Prix
DETROIT — Both Louis Foster and Felix Rosenqvist were passengers after Foster's suspension broke in a violent crash Sunday at the Detroit Grand Prix. Both drivers were released from the medical center. Rosenqvist was put on a stretcher (sitting up) after the accident and said he just had some pain in his knee. "I feel good," Rosenqvist said. "A little bit of pain in my knee, but it's fine. I've done all the checks and everything, and we're good. ... I just banged my knee really bad into the [steering] wheel." Foster's car hit the wall and then rammed into the back of the Meyer Shank Racing car of Rosenqvist, creating a debris field that resulted in a short red flag to clean the track. "I didn't even see it coming," Rosenqvist said. "Because I think just the angle he hit me, you kind of look in your left mirror naturally, and he kind of came from the right. So I was surprised I didn't see it because you always kind of glance in your mirror as you turn in, and I didn't see anything. "And then it was just like, 'Boom.' I think actually the hit when he hit me was bigger than hitting the wall." Foster didn't see it coming, either. "Clear as day, it was a suspension failure," Foster said. "Soon as I hit the brakes, the front right suspension just popped up and I can't do anything. It's difficult, man. "There's not a lot I can say right now. It's just a car failure. This place is so bumpy. It puts so much stress on the drivers and the cars. Does that have anything to do with it? Gut feeling says yes. So I don't know what to do or to say." Drivers said the course is bumpy — as many street courses are — but typically a suspension piece such as that one wouldn't snap unless it has mileaged-out or there was some contact earlier in the race. "It's probably on the limit of bumpy," Rosenqvist said. "On the main straight, if you go to the right of the racing line, which you kind of have to do if you pass someone, it's really bumpy. "I don't know if that's part of it. I'm glad Louis is OK. He got a pretty rough ride as well." Foster said he was OK and felt it was going to be his best result so far in his rookie year at Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. "It's a shame," Foster said. "It would have been our best result today or fighting for our best result." Bob Pockrass covers NASCAR and INDYCAR for FOX Sports.

IndyCar Detroit GP: Race red-flagged after vicious, late crash
Sunday's Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix was red-flagged in the closing stages after a serious accident involving Louis Foster and Felix Rosenqvist. Foster was running two places behind Rosenqvist with 17 laps remaining in the 100-lap event when a suspension failure sent him into the outside wall and careening down into Rosenqvist, who was braking for the corner ahead. Advertisement What resulted were significant hits for both drivers. Rosenqvist spun hard into the edge of the turn 3 tire barrier. Foster was clear of the wall, slid through to the tires at the back of the runoff next to the corner. The AMR Safety Team quickly arrived at each car. Both drivers radioed to their teams that they were okay and were able to climb out of their machines under their own power, but Rosenqvist complained of leg pain and was loaded on a stretcher before being taken off-track for medical evaluation. 'The suspension just killed on us when I hit the brakes,' Foster said of the incident. 'I've never seen that happen before. … I don't know how the heck that happens. This track's just ridiculously bumpy. That has to be something to do with it, because that's so uncommon. Advertisement 'I don't have a lot of words right now. Still trying to figure out in my head what happened, chat to the boys and see. Super disappointing. That's about it.' Race officials red-flagged the race with 13 to go in order to allow time to remove the damaged cars and work on any safety repairs needed. To read more articles visit our website.

Suspension Failure Leads to Scary Crash and Red Flag in IndyCar's Detroit Grand Prix
With 13 laps remaining in the Detroit Grand Prix, rookie Louis Foster suffered a right-front suspension failure, launching Foster into Felix Rosenqvist. Rosengvist ended up plugged into the inside wall of turn three as Foster, barely scrubbing off speed, ended up sliding down the runoff zone and embedding his car deep in the tire barrier. Rosenqvist complained of pain in his leg before being taken away on a stretcher; Foster walked away from his car. "The suspension just killed when we went in on the brakes," Foster told IndyCar on Fox "I've never seen that before." One of the flaws of the new Detroit street course has been the bumps of the Michigan streets. Foster would not be surprised if the extra work required by the suspension led to the crash. "I don't know how the heck that happens," Foster said. "This track is ridiculously bumpy. That has to have something to do with it because it's so uncommon."
