IndyCar drivers Rinus VeeKay, Felix Rosenqvist cleared to return at Mid-Ohio

LEXINGTON, Ohio -- Felix Rosenqvist and Rinus VeeKay returned to their cars at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Friday after both IndyCar drivers were sidelined by injuries.

Rosenqvist missed two races after a crash last month in Detroit. He said Friday he went through IndyCar's concussion protocol after he was not cleared by the league to race June 20 at Road America.

"You only have one brain," the Swedish driver said. "It doesn't really mean I have a concussion. But something could be wrong and they cannot take the chance."

Rosenqvist was hospitalized overnight following a June 12 crash at Detroit.
