Brazil's Vitor Meira competed in yesterday's Indy 500 and while there were many drivers who crashed and had to leave the race, it is safe to say Meira had the longest day of them all.
First on Lap 134 this happens: (around the 1:00 minute mark things heat up!)
Despite being wet and probably a little shaken, Meira continued to race. Then on Lap 173, this encounter with Raphael Matos occurred: (at 1:20 it gets good)
Luckily, neither of these incidents ended anyone's life, however the crash was serious for Meira as he suffered 2 broken vertebrae in his back.
BTW, former Dancing with the Stars Champ Helio Castroneves joined elite company capturing his 3rd victory at Indy over Dan Wheldon and Danica Patrick.
