Alexis Crase calls Mission Oaks her “safe place.”The 32-year-old San Jose resident has been admitted to the inpatient psychiatric facility in Los Gatos more than 20 times over the last five years for treatment of bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and suicidal thoughts.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:00:41 GMT

Simon Pagenaud will miss the IndyCar race at Mid-Ohio on Sunday after flipping seven times during a harrowing wreck in practice a day earlier, leaving veteran driver Conor Daly to step into his Meyer Shank Racing ride on short notice.Pagenaud was going nearly full speed entering Turn 4 of the road course on Saturday when the team said a manufacturer brake failure occurred. Pagenaud was able to induce a spin, scrubbing some of the speed, but catapulted off the racing surface and into a wild wide through a gravel trap that finally ended with the No. 60 car on its side.Pagenaud was released from the track care center but, according to IndyCar protocols, could not return in time for qualifying. He was evaluated again early Sunday but the 2019 Indy 500 winner did not receive clearance to race.“To walk away from an accident like that is incredible,” team owner Mike Shank said. “This is obviously not a scenario we had planned for, but everyone at MSR has pitched in to get our backup car re...
