LONG POND, Pa. -- Andretti Autosport driver Ryan Hunter-Reay was transported to a hospital after he was involved in a high-impact crash during IndyCar qualifying at Pocono Raceway on Saturday.

Hunter-Reay needed assistance out of his car and limped to an ambulance after he appeared to lose control of the No. 28 Honda and the left side slammed the protective soft wall. The car then shot down the track and hit the inside wall.

Indianapolis 500 champion Takuma Sato, who was the last driver to take his qualifying laps, posted an average of 219.
