Accidents

The above-average number of rollovers during the races made for a particularly large number of headlines. Marco Andretti caught it at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course . Dario Franchitti rolled over at Michigan International Speedway and Kentucky Speedway . In all cases, however, the drivers got out of their car unharmed.
