Gugelmin in the wars again.

The Brazilian, who has already suffered one major accident - at Texas - this season, was treated and released from the CART Mobile Medical Facility and has been cleared to drive for the remainder of the weekend.

"I'm pretty stiff right now, so I'll have to do a lot of icing tonight on my shoulders," Gugelmin said, "The doctors said I have been cleared to drive tomorrow, so I'll do some work tonight with a trainer and then report to CART medical [CART Mobile Medical Facility] in the morning for some physical therapy.
"The hit registered 123 Gs in just 0.03 seconds, so I anticipate quite a bit of soreness tonight and tomorrow. Really, I walked away with just a few minor cuts and bruises, so I'm very fortunate to have been wearing the HANS device, and thankful that these cars are so safe today. We will re-evaluate things in the morning, but I'll be all right."
