The seven-time NASCAR champion suffered the injury in a crash during practice for last weekend’s Long Beach Grand Prix. Johnson says he expects to drive at next week’s test in Indianapolis and at IndyCar’s next race in Alabama on May 1. Johnson also competed Sunday despite the injury. He finished 20th for Chip Ganassi Racing while wearing a cast.
