NBC Sports (Dillon Welch)\u00a0What goes through your head as you experience that?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt was a hell of a ride thats for sure. We had something go wrong and I couldn\u2019t slow down. I tried to make the corner anyways. I know that gravel is deadly, Michael Andretti has done it so I guess I joined another legend so thats cool I guess. \u00a0I was just trying to bail out. Its down hill, which is nuts.\u00a0The car took off, I hit the gravel and it just rolled.\u00a0 I\u2019m just glad i didn’t go over the tire wall.<\/p>\n “So glad that we have the aeroscreen, so thankful that the IndyCar has the aeroscreen.<\/p>\n NBC Sports (Dillon Welch)<\/em> W<\/em>as that the wildest ride you have taken in your career?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cYes, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n NBC Sports (Dillon Welch)\u00a0<\/em>How tough is it for you to put this aside and get back into the car and go fast again?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m ready, I can get back in right now.\u00a0 It\u2019s not a problem. It will be the doctors decision, there is a protocol to follow to keep the drivers safe.\u00a0 We will see what they say. But very unfortunate day for us. But I we got some TV time I guess!\u201d<\/p>\n NBC Sports (Dillon Welch)\u00a0<\/em>Physically, you feel ok?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cYes, I feel fine right now\u201d<\/p>\n Georgia w Indycar:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Simon first and foremost physically how are you feeling?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWell, I\u2019m here and I\u2019m talking with you guys and I was very well taken care of by the INDYCAR medical team. The cars are super safe and I want to thank the Mid-Ohio fans waiting there for the little cheer when I got out of the car, it’s good to feel that support.\u00a0 It is a big shame for the 60 team, \u00a0something went wrong and I couldn’t slow down.”<\/p>\n Georgia w Indycar:\u00a0<\/em> \u201cThe Aeroscreen is, is huge. Certainly as I was rolling, \u00a0 I was very thankful for the Aeroscreen knowing you know we’re in a very treacherous gravel bed, which is not very good for the safety there. Something to improve in the future for sure.<\/p>\n Georgia w Indycar:\u00a0<\/em>What if it rains? \u201cBut at the end of the day, if it’s raining, I’ll be alright I’d be because the problem is, is I’ve lost so much track time now and it’s so competitive. The track evolves so much that I’ve lost a lot of ground so it’d be hard to be competitive in a dry situation, but if it’s raining, my chances are good.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Meyer Shank Racing Simon Pagenaud Saturday July 1 Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course Honda Indy 200 NBC Sports (Dillon Welch)\u00a0What goes through your head as you experience [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6148,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,9,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-feature","category-meyer-shank-racing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6147"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6147\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6151,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6147\/revisions\/6151"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nCan you dissect those moments as you were flipping\u2014everything happened so quickly but what were you seeing?\u00a0<\/strong>
\n\u201cYou know, in the car for us things don’t go as quick as it looks on TV. So we kind of slow down the image, it is incredible what the brain can do. And I can dissect every moment of it. You know, you go into survival mode and I’m just so thankful because it’s so safe. It’s incredible.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u201cIf it rains I’m okay because you know the thing is, is we have a backup car to get ready.\u00a0 It’s obviously gonna be down to the medical team to clear me. It was a pretty big hit so there’s a protocol to follow.<\/p>\n
