IndyCar’s Newgarden cleared for Road America practice

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) — IndyCar driver Josef Newgarden is scheduled to practice at Road America, nearly two weeks after he broke his right collarbone in a scary crash at Texas.

Ed Carpenter Racing, owner of the Newgarden’s No. 21 Chevrolet, says the driver is cleared to practice on Friday.

The team says Newgarden will be reevaluated after the practice sessions to determine what he can do the rest of the weekend.

Newgarden got hurt in a race on June 12 at Texas.
