Wilson set to miss rest of season

Justin Wilson is likely to miss the rest of the IndyCar Series season after suffering a stable burst fracture of the fifth thoracic vertebra during an off-track incident during free practice at Mid-Ohio last Saturday. The Briton will be replaced in the #22 Dreyer & Reinbold car by Tomas Scheckter in this weekend's Indy 225 at New Hampshire. Wilson sustained the back injury after running wide on the exit of Turn 1 and crashing over an access road which caused his car to bottom out.
