IndyCar driver Sting Ray Robb is alert and in “good condition” after a scary crash on the final lap of Sunday’s race at Iowa Speedway.
Robb’s car went airborne when it collided with Alexander Rossi’s car after the latter slowed down abruptly, possibly having run out of fuel. Robb’s car flipped onto its roof and then slid down the final straight as other cars collided behind it.
IndyCar said Robb was being transported to a local hospital for further evaluation following the crash. The accident is another reminder of the importance of the sunshade that IndyCar implemented permanently in 2020.
UPDATE: Sting Ray Robb is awake, alert and in good condition following his crash on the final lap of today’s race at Iowa Speedway.
The driver of number 41 is being transported to a local hospital as a precaution for further evaluation.

Robb is in his second season in the IndyCar Series. He is currently 21st in points after the crash and last among drivers who have competed in all 11 races this season.
