INDIANAPOLIS – Lyn St. James, who was injured in a crash during Saturday’s Vintage Race of Champions Charity Pro-Am at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, was discharged from an area hospital Sunday morning.

A seven-time Indy 500 starter and prominent sports car racer, St. James sustained minor injuries during the crash. She was kept overnight for observation at the IU Health Methodist Hospital.

“The care was excellent,” said St. James. “I am grateful to everyone involved – from the time of the incident to my release from the hospital.

“I’m really happy to be up on my feet and feeling pretty good,” St. James continued. “I’m really thankful that all of the safety equipment that I wore and what was on the car functioned as it was designed to. I am walking away from a pretty big hit.”

St. James will be returning to Arizona on Monday.
