Parts and debris were littered throughout the track as practice was temporarily stopped before it began again.

“I'm all good, I praise the Lord,” Simpson told Fox Sports after being checked out at the emergency medical centre. “Starting fast on Friday is a difficult way. It's just a weird crash. Everything about it was weird.

“I didn't feel anything right at all from the outlap either. I was perfect for the weight jacker and tried to help the car. I never really felt the way I expected it. It was just weird.
