Verizon IndyCar Series driver James Hinchcliffe was cleared to resume driving duties after being re-evaluated May 15 by the INDYCAR medical team and passing the post-concussion ImPACT test, according to INDYCAR Medical Director Dr. Michael Olinger.

STATEMENT FROM JAMES HINCHCLIFFE, DRIVER, NO. 27 UNITED FIBER & DATA HONDA:
"It goes without saying, I'm thrilled to be back in the United Fiber & Data car. It's been a long couple of days watching everyone practice, but obviously getting healthy was the number one goal. I really want to thank everyone at INDYCAR Safety, INDYCAR Medical and IU Health for their great care. Also, to Jim Leo with PitFit Training for helping with the rehabilitation, and of course a big thanks to E.J. (Viso) and the team for all the hard work during practice. The car looks fast and I can't wait to get out there and get up to speed."
