INDIANAPOLIS -- Sebastien Bourdais admitted he wasn't sure how he would feel Monday when he entered Turn 2 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
It was nearly a year ago in Indianapolis 500 qualifying when Bourdais lost control of his car while going 232 mph and slammed into the wall in a nasty crash that broke his hip and pelvis.
While he has turned plenty of laps in an Indy car since then -- returning 14 weeks later for the final three races of the 2017 season and winning the season opener at St. Petersburg -- Bourdais spent Monday testing for the May 27 race in his first laps at the track that nearly ended his career.
