Ryan Briscoe

• Ryan Briscoe was thankful for the HANS Device for allowing him to walk away with minor injuries from a dramatic
  accident in Sunday's Indy 300 race at the Chicagoland Speedway.
  
• Briscoe sustained a concussion, two broken collarbones, a bruised lung and contusions to his legs and arms.
  
• "I remember the initial contact with Alex (Barron) and thought that we might just get away with not hitting the wall," Briscoe said in a statement. "Suddenly I was airborne, and the rest is a little fuzzy."
  
• Briscoe was helped from the car by safety workers and taken to the infield care center. He was reported to be awake and alert when airlifted to Advocate Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill., where he spent Sunday night listed in good condition.
  
• "The HANS device and the safety features on the car did what they were designed to do," Briscoe said. "I credit them for helping me walk away from the accident relatively unscathed."
