Marcus Armstrong left the route on the Indianapoli Motor Speedway on a stretcher after a single car accident on Saturday, but seemed to escape a serious injury.

“Marcus was seen and released from the Infield Care Center,” said his team, Meyer Shenk Racing, in a statement on Saturday morning.

The team did not state whether he could continue with the backup car on Saturday.

Armstrong drove with the blue Honda No. 66 and lost control while approaching a curve, turning and falling against the wall, causing the left side of the car seriously.

He was able to climb the mutilated rubble and was immediately put on a stretcher. The medical director Dr. Julia Vaizer spoke to Fox Sports after the evaluation of Armstrong.

“He is awake, he is vigilant, he's fine,” said Vaizer. “These goals at IMS Oval can be really difficult. We just want to make sure that we do not hurry down, we take our time and make the right decisions for the driver.”

The 24 -year -old Armstrong is born in New Zealand who won 2023 NTT Indycar Series Rookie of the Year in 2023. He spent his first two seasons with Chip Ganassi Racing. He has two top -10 places between five starts this season.
