Danica Patrick crashes into wall, out of Indy 500; Takuma Sato out, too

INDIANAPOLIS -- Danica Patrick's racing career ended Sunday with a crash in Turn 2 of the Indianapolis 500.

Patrick lost control of the car and hit hard on the outside wall, sliding back down across the track and into the inside barrier.

The rest of the field managed to miss Patrick as she came to rest on the grass. Despite the hard hit, Patrick managed to climb out of the car on her own.

Defending champion Takuma Sato also is out of the Indianapolis 500 after running into the back of James Davison's car.
