From the May 25, 2016, Speedway (Indiana) Press by Kirby Smock.
The top story at the Indy 500 this month so far has been the return of James Hinchcliffe (my favorite Indy racer) and his run that has resulted in the pole position for the 100th Running.
During practice in 2015, Hinchcliffe crashed heavily into Turn 3 from a suspension failure and suffered critical injuries and survived only because of quick attention by the Methodist Hospital's trauma team.
He then underwent a long recovery period and physical therapy to get back to normal. he was fully healed and healthy and back on the track.
In 2016, he got off to a slow start and only finished 19th and 18th in the first two races, but showed improvement to 8th and 6th in the next two and then 3rd in the Indy Grand Prix.
I have been following Hinchcliffe ever since his Go-Daddy green days and had high hopes for him at Sinday's race.
