      <description><![CDATA[INDIANAPOLIS (May 16, 2013) – The weather forecast looked ugly Thursday morning for the teams at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.  Thunderstorms were predicted for most of the afternoon and practice runs looked to be questionable.

It took 5-1/2 practice days for the clean white walls of Indianapolis Motor Speedway to be smirched with rubber and carbon fiber. Shortly after 2:15PM, rookie Conor Daly was on his 44th lap when he got low in the first turn and smacked the SAFER barriers (thank goodness they’re there) before his Dallara/Honda racer got on its side, eventually coming to a halt on its Firestone ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/daly-first-to-hit-wall-munoz-quick-again-on-thursday-at-indy/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>
