As reported on the Twitter page for this blog (@SeannyDIndy), rookie Scott Speed had a verbal altercation with his crew during practice on Friday. Speed was heard to have said, "The car is loose as ****!" and that he "has no confidence out there." Speed then sat by himself on the wall and stared in to space, as pictured below.
After conferring with his wife Amanda for a few minutes, he went back to talk to the mechanics. Things got a bit more heated, then Speed was heard to have said "I'm done", and he walked back to the garage area. Some are reporting he left the grounds of IMS, but I can not confirm that.
I did, however, see veteran Jacques Lazier talking to a mechanic for Dragon Racing about taking over the seat. I asked Lazier what was happening and he said that this wasn't the first time this had happened with Speed and his crew. When asked if he had a helmet and suit ready, Lazier said "They are like my MasterCard, I take them everywhere I go."
