“I’m feeling good; everything is fine,” said Dempsey afterward, despite his car being a smoking hulk. “My legs are a little burned in some areas from some carbon stuff. I’m more upset for the team and the guys. I was just coming down the back straight and we all got bogged (down) by a little bit of lapped traffic.

“Oliver Webb got bogged into the back straight, Victor Carbone went to the left side, I went right, and Carbone just decided to cross to the right and I was already there. Got my front wheel and up I went.”

Dempsey was sent hard into the wall destroying the rear of his car.

While he emerged from the wreck under his own power, he was taken to the medical center where a piece of debris had punctured his driver suit and leg. He was released from the medical center shortly thereafter with bruising.
