Rinus VeeKay says he’s still targeting pole position following his heroics to rebound from a big crash to break into Sunday’s Top 12 qualifying battle for the Indianapolis 500.
VeeKay’s favorable draw of fourth driver to run quickly became obsolete after wrecking in Turn 3 on the opening lap of his four-lap run, which left significant damage to the back end and left side of his No. 21 Ed Carpenter Racing Chevrolet. Despite the severe damage, VeeKay’s team elected to do extensive repairs instead of switching to a backup car. After several hours of work, he lapped at 231.

There was also the fact that VeeKay was forced to shake off the physical impact of the crash, which saw him limping as he got out of the car. “Yeah, it was a pretty hard hit, and my right knee hurt a little bit after, but 20 minutes later it was gone,” VeeKay said.
