FONTANA, CA -RIS- Practice started late but ended early as Mikhail Aleshin and Charlie Kimball crashed hard in turn four about 15 minutes into the final session. The final practice had been delayed one hour to allow the sun to go lower.

Aleshin got up into the fence and was transported to the hospital where he complained of pain in his right shoulder. Kimball was without injury as was Marco Andretti who was slightly involved. At least two other cars were damaged by debris but got into the pits under their own power.

The MAV TV 500 is scheduled for 7:20 PM Pacific Daylight time.
