Another local racer was injured on the speedway Friday night. 

St. Pete resident and racer Sabastien Bourdais is recovering from a violent and fiery crash. 

Bourdais was injured during the Indy 500 qualifier Friday night when he lost control of his racecar and collided into a side wall. 

He suffered fractures in his hip and pelvis and immediately went into surgery. 

The 38-year-old won the Indy car season's opening grand prix of St. Petersburg.
