Wilson crash: IndyCar drivers 'shocked'

Tuesday, August 25 2015 by SNTV
  • IndyCar drivers Ryan Hunter-Reay and Josef Newgarden send their best wishes to Briton Justin Wilson, who is in a critical condition in a coma after suffering serious head injuries during an IndyCar race in Pennsylvania, America, on Sunday.

    Script: SOUNDBITE: (English) Ryan Hunter-Reay, Winner of the ABC Supply 500:

    "Yeah, you know lack of details but it is unbelievable to get the number 28 DHL Honda back in victory lane. First and foremost we're thinking about Justin Wilson. Great friend of mine, great friend of all of ours, (Andretti Autosport) team-mate and our families are close - you know he's got two daughters at home, two kids at home so it hits close to home. So I'm really, really thinking about him and I can only imagine, you know? The nosecone hitting him in the head. I knew it wasn't good when everyone was surrounding him, surrounding his car but, yeah, that's what's on all of our minds but this car today, this 28 DHL Honda was just fantastic. I mean, we dropped back in the field a few times, knifed right back through it, went to the front every time and I knew it was kind of our race to lose, just didn't know the circumstances would fall right so we had a fantastic racecar, it was a dream to drive."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Josef Newgarden, Finished Second in the ABC Supply 500:

    "Crazy, crazy day. You know, unbelievable race - I don't think you could ask for much more from that, from an entertaining standpoint. Great to be here in Pocono, it's a great track, we had a lot of really good fans out here that showed up and, you know, it's tough to think about anything else other than Justin (Wilson) right now. There's no real news. I haven't heard anything, he was involved in the wreck there in the end and, you know, we haven't heard anything. So I'm thinking about him and happy with our day but, like I said, we're just thinking about Justin - just want to hear some good news hopefully soon."
