Serious accident at IRL race during practice

A violent accident involving the stepson of Indy Racing League founder Tony George occurred minutes into the final practice session for the Toyota Indy 300, the IRL IndyCar Series opener set for 3:30 this afternoon.

Ed Carpenter spun his Vision Racing car exiting Turn 2 of the 1.5- mile Homestead-Miami Speedway oval and hugged the outside wall before slowly creeping back onto the racing surface. It was nearly stopped when it was hit in the left-rear corner at nearly full speed by a car driven by Paul Dana, a 30-year old rookie driving for Rahal Letterman Racing.

Dana's car sustained severe frontal damage and he is believed to have suffered serious injuries. He and Carpenter were airlifted to Jackson Hospital in Miami.

"I don't really know much other that he was flown to the hospital," said Dana's car owner Bobby Rahal. "We hope he's okay. It was a pretty vicious incident. We're thinking about Paul and hope he's in good shape
