Danica Patrick says she doesn't remember last Sunday's multi-car crash at the Homestead-Miami Speedway that sent her to a local hosp💎ital for observation but th꧑at her IndyCar Series debut was fun while it lasted.

The 22 year-old Rahal Letterman Racing rookie had moved her Panoz-Honda into the top ten heading into the final quarter of last Sunday's 200-lꦐap Toyota Indy 300 when she became one of eight victims of a lap 159 crash triggered by Kosuke Matsuura's turn one spin🍸 shortly after a restart.

"I really don't remember the accident, but 📖I know we were having a pretty decent race for our first time out. I just wish I could have finished," said Patrick, who is scheduled to visit doctors in Phoenix this week for confirmation on her ability to participate in next weekend's event at the 🔯Phoenix International Raceway.

After avoiding the spinning cars of Matsuura, Scott Sharp and Tomas Scheckter, Patrick clipped the rear of Ed Carpent🌟er's slowing machine, briefly sending her skyward before making hard contact with the outside wall on the exit of turn two.

"Going int♔o the race, I just wanted to finish," she added. "Every lap I run in an IndyCar is experience, and t🍬hat experience is going to pay benefits later in the season."

Visibly dazed in the moments following the crash, Patrick was diagnosed with a minor concussion and taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation before being 🃏released back to her Phoenix base later that day. Although memories of the crash ar🎶e hazy, her day up to that point was good.

"I had a lot of fun while I was out there," she concluded. "The car was great, but I was just trying to be patient and get a feel for the race. Sunday was the lon🌟gest race of my career, and since it was only my 12th day in an IndyCar (Series car), I wanted to gain as much experience as possible and increase my comfo🌼rt level."
