Englishman Alex Lloyd is expected to be released from Methodist Hospital this morning but won't participate in this weekend's qualifying for the 92nd Indianapolis 500, said Rahal Letterman spokeman Eric Mauk.

The rookie was going to be sent to his Indianapolis home, Mauk said, and a check-up would be scheduled with Indy Racing League medical director Dr. Michael Olinger. Mauk said the earliest Lloyd would get back into the car was Wednesday, pending Olinger's clearance.

The car wasn't a complete loss - the tub may be salvaged - but the rest of the bolt-on parts on the outside would need to be replaced.

Neck pain and held overnight.

By Wednesday he'll have mulitple vertebrae fractures and will be out for three months.

It should be automatic to put the driver right into a neck brance and on the backboard after a hit like that, yet as usual the glorious IRL let Lloyd climb out and walk around.:shakehead

RHR's had a turn. At this rate they're going to run out of drivers.
