Menard forced to withdraw again.
For the second weekend in succession, stalwart IRL operation Team Menard have elected to withdraw from an IRL IndyCar Series event after substitute driver Jaques Lazier crashed the team's primary #2 Dallara-Chevrolet just six laps into Friday's opening practice session at the Nazareth Speedway.
