Conor Daly is replacing Simon Pagenaud for the IndyCar race at Mid-Ohio
Simon Pagenaud will miss the IndyCar race at Mid-Ohio on Sunday after flipping seven times during a harrowing wreck in practice a day earlier, leaving veteran driver Conor Daly to step into his Meyer Shank Racing ride on short notice. Pagenaud was able to induce a spin, scrubbing some of the speed, but catapulted off the racing surface and into a wild wide through a gravel trap that finally ended with the No. 60 car on its side. Pagenaud was released from the track care center but, according to IndyCar protocols, could not return in time for qualifying.
