Long Beach, EL1 – Johnson injured, Pagenaud in good shape

Only one training session was planned for theIndyCar in Long Beach (California) on Friday, April 8, but it was enough to scare Jimmie Johnson (Chip Ganassi). The seven-time champion of Nascar injured his right arm when he hit the wall of tires because he had not taken his hands off the steering wheel before the impact.

In a video posted on his social networks, the driver who scored sixth place on the Texas oval last March, acknowledged that additional examinations would decide whether or not he would participate in the third round of the 2022 season. “As you can see, I have a cast and I don't yet know how the rest of the weekend will go. »

simon pagenaud (Meyer Shank Racing) achieved the best time in Free Practice ahead of Alexander Red (Andretti) and the championship leader, Scott McLaughlin (Penske). Romain Grosjean (Andretti) is 22nd.
