CART FedEx Championship Series veteran Adrian Fernandez is wasting no time in recovering from the injuries suffered in Sunday's Molson Indy Vancouver, as he went through his first full day of rehabilitation therapy in Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Fernandez suffered a hairline fracture in his left pelvis and severe bruising on his right buttock during a late-race accident at Vancouver on Sunday, and today began a stringent rehabilitation program under the watchful eye of CART Chief Orthopedic Consultant Dr. Terry Trammell.
The owner/driver will be working with Dr. Trammell for the rest of the week in Indianapolis, having flown in Monday from Vancouver.
Fernandez was injured when Player's Forsythe Racing's Patrick Carpentier lost control of his Reynard-Ford coming through the flat turn five kink on Vancouver's back straight on lap 92 of Sunday's 100 lap Molson Indy Vancouver.
Somehow Carpentier managed to save his lurid slide without hitting anything but in the confusion behind him, Fernandez rammed the back of Carpentier's teammate Alex Tagliani and was then hit by the closely following Bruno Junqueira in a crash that brought out the red flags.
Although Fernandez failed to finish the race, overall attrition around the 1.781-mile Concord Pacific Place was extremely high and the owner/driver was still credited with an eighth place finish.
