The Indianapolis 500 isn't until Sunday, but that doesn't mean we can't have some drama throughout the week.
With less than an hour left in the Monday practice of race week, Katherine Legge and Stefan Wilson crashed to bring the session to a halt.
The pair were going through Turns 1 and 2 when Wilson began to check up. Legge closed in quickly, sending both into the wall.
Legge was able to walk away under her own power after climbing out of the car.
"Cars in front were all checking up and I lifted as much as I could, downshift and hit the brakes, but it wasn't enough," Legge said after leaving the care center.

Wilson wasn't as lucky, having to be extracted from his car and placed onto a stretcher, while medical staff stabilized his neck. As he was being loaded into the ambulance, Wilson managed to give a thumbs up.
Regardless, Wilson was still taken to the hospital for further evaluation and was in good spirits according to what Dr. Julia Vaizer said on the broadcast.
Following an evaluation, it was determined that Wilson will be unable to race on Sunday due to a fracture of the 12th thoracic vertebrae.
Video later showed what the damage looked like to both cars up close.
Legge qualified 30th for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing — earning the final spot in the Saturday session prior to Sunday's last chance qualifying. Wilson qualified 25th for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing.
The team announced Tuesday that Graham Rahal will drive the No. 24 car this weekend in Wilson's absence.
