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 ramped into the air off the back of Alexander Rossi’s car after Rossi abruptly slowed as he was possibly out of fuel. Robb’s car flipped over onto its roof and then skidded down the backstretch as other cars crashed behind.
