Part of the fence was destroyed and most of the Honda Wickens was driving went all over the track. Officials said that it would take an hour to repair the fence.

Wickens was alert and awake after being airlifted to Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, Pa., for further evaluation.

James Hinchcliffe, Pietro Fittipaldi and Takuma Sato were also involved in the wreck.

"I was lucky to get out of that one," said Hunter-Reay.
