Izod IndyCar Driver Pippa Mann Injured During Practice for Sunday's MoveThatBlock.com Indy 225 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway

     I am a big fan of English IndyCar driver Pippa Mann and looked forward to her second race in the Izod IndyCar Series this year. Pippa finished 20th during this year’s running of the Indy 500, and was scheduled to drive for Rahal Letterman Lanigan in this weekend’s MoveThatBlock.com Indy 225 Izod Indy Race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. This morning, however, Pippa crashed during practice and had to be removed from competition until cleared by IndyCar medical.

     Pippa hit the wall hard, but was able to walk to a stretcher with the help of rescue personnel. She was transported to Concorde Medical Center for initial evaluation, and will have further tests (to include an MRI of her back) Monday in Indianapolis. 

     The photograph above is from last year when Pippa raced in the Firestone Indy Lights Series. You can learn more about Pippa from looking at some of my earlier blogs at
