Same - October 17, 2005 12:28 AM (GMT)
A.J. Foyt IV, making his final start in his grandfather's IndyCar, was injured in a crash early in Sunday's Toyota Indy 500 at California Speedway.
The 21-year-old Foyt, scheduled to drive five NASCAR Busch Series races beginning next weekend in Memphis, Tenn., was taken by ambulance to Loma Linda University Medical Center after complaining of pain in his knees.
Track officials said the youngster was awake and talking but groggy after being removed from his car, which hit the wall in turn one of the 2-mile oval. Foyt was struggling with an ill-handling car and had brushed the wall several laps before the crash.

It did look scary because they had to put the neck brace on and put him on a backboard. They didn't have all of the crash on tv, so you really don't know how hard he actually hit. It didn't even look that bad, but those cars are so fast, it had to have been bad.

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that he'll be able to start Saturday.
