HOUSTON -- Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti will need a second surgery on the broken right ankle he suffered when his car went airborne
into the fence during the last lap of the Grand Prix of Houston.

and received a concussion. He had surgery on the ankle Sunday night and remained
in the hospital afterward. Franchitti is expected to return to Indianapolis on
Wednesday and have a second surgery on his ankle. "Thank you to everyone for all
the well wishes. They mean a lot to me," Franchitti said in a statement from
Target Chip Ganassi Racing. " I would also like to send my best to all the fans
involved in the accident and hope that everyone is all right." Thirteen fans and
an IndyCar official were injured by debris that flew into the grandstand. Two
people were taken to the hospital; Tony Kanaan tweeted a picture of himself and
fellow driver Scott Dixon visiting one of the fans and wrote: "Glad to see
everybody is ok." The accident occurred when Franchitti ran into the back of
Takuma Satos car and launched over it and into the fence. Sato appeared to have
a problem with his car and was limping toward the finish when Franchitti came up
quickly behind him in Turn 5. The force of the crash tore apart a section of the
fence and showered debris into the grandstand, which had a second fence in front
of the fans. Franchittis car ricocheted back onto the track and spun several
times before coming to a stop. E.J. Viso hit Satos car as he came upon the
accident scene, and the three wrecked cars and broken parts and pieces clogged
the race course. IndyCar threw the yellow flag, ending the race under caution,
but drivers still had to navigate their way through the wreckage on their way
back to pit road. It created a scene reminiscent of Dan Wheldons fatal 2011
crash at Las Vegas, where competitors also had to drive past Wheldons car and
through the debris. It was a sobering moment for race winner Will Power, who
broke his back in the Las Vegas crash, and for Dixon, Franchittis teammate.
Dixon took control of the IndyCar championship race on Sunday but passed by
teammate Franchittis car and waved in an attempt to get an update on his
condition. Power watched replays of the accident on the big screen, and said the
accident reminded him of Las Vegas, where he and Wheldon both sailed into the
fence. "I just saw Darios car and him sitting in it with a lot of damage, and
yes, thats what it reminded me of," said Power. "I hate seeing that. We try to
keep these cars on the ground." The accident ended a weekend that saw Dixon move
into the points lead following mechanical failures for Helio Castroneves on
consecutive days. Castroneves came to Houston with a 49-point lead over Dixon.
But a gearbox problem Saturday when Dixon won allowed Dixon to pull within eight
points. Then his gearbox broke on Sunday, and Dixon now has a 25-point lead in
the standings and needs only to finish fifth or better in the Oct. 19 finale in
California to win his third IndyCar title. "Its still going to come down to the
wire," he said. "Its still going to be the last lap, last corner kind of
situation. At least I hope that it ends that way."
