Kenny Brack

Brack has decided he will not be ready for next month's Indianapolis 500 due to a fractured right femur and broken ankle he suffered in a crash last fall, the Indianapolis Star reports.

Brack says he plans to return to racing in 2004, but his return date from a fractured right femur and broken ankle is unknown. "My right ankle isn't healed up completely, yet. We're waiting to take the last X-rays, which will be in a couple of weeks. Once I can weight-bear on the right leg, I will be walking like anybody else that has got two legs and no injuries," he told the Indianapolis Star.

Brack underwent successful surgery Sunday night on his fractured right femur and broken ankles. He is expected to make a full recovery from the multiple fractures, concussion and facial laceration he suffered in an an accident in Sunday's season-ending race, the Indianapolis Star reports.

Brack is in serious but stable condition after suffering multiple fractures in a crash at the season-ending race at Texas Motor Speedway, the Associated Press reports.

Brack is moving to IRL and will drive a car for owner Bobby Rahal next season, the Indianapolis Star reports.
