If this continues, race teams soon will be sending out SOS's for crew volunteers.
Ty Manseau, a member of Michael Andretti's crew, was run over by Andretti as the driver left the pits during Sunday's Miller Lite 225 FedEx CART series race in West Allis, Wis. The left rear tire of Andretti's car rolled over Manseau's torso and head, which, fortunately, was protected by a helmet.
Manseau, the team's vent man, was examined for possible spinal damage at Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital, and released.
Talk about a lucky guy. . .
Manseau is the third Indy-car crewman in the last two weeks to suffer an injury after being hit by a car.
Steve Fried, chief mechanic for rookie Robby McGehee's team, was hospitalized after a pit accident during the Indianapolis 500. He is in fair condition.
